ลดความเสี่ยงในการทำบอลลูนขยายหลอดเลือดหัวใจ ด้วยเทคโนโลยี OCT แม่นยำและปลอดภัย

Coronary Angioplasty is one of the common treatments for coronary artery disease, but this treatment carries risks, especially in selecting the position and size of the balloon and heart stent (Stent)
&nbsp;
Currently, medical advancements have developed OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) technology to help increase accuracy and effectively reduce the chance of complications 
 
<h2>What is OCT? </h2>
OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) is a high-resolution intravascular imaging technology that can display the structure of the vessel wall in 3 dimensions with micron-level resolution, allowing doctors to clearly see the details of the blood vessels and lesions 
 
<h2>Benefits of OCT in Coronary Angioplasty </h2>
Using OCT helps increase accuracy and safety at every step of balloon angioplasty as follows: 
 
<ol>
<li> Accurately assess the size and length of the blood vessel</li>
</ol>
OCT allows doctors to measure the diameter of the blood vessel and the length of the lesion accurately to select the most appropriate size and length of the heart stent
&nbsp;
<ol start="2">
<li> Identify the appropriate position for stent placement</li>
</ol>
With detailed images, doctors can avoid placing the stent in areas where the vessel wall is thin or has lesions that are at risk of complications, such as lesions with fat, calcium, or fibrous plaque 
&nbsp;
<ol start="3">
<li> Evaluate the condition of the blood vessel after stent placement</li>
</ol>
After stent placement, OCT can check whether the stent is fully expanded, how well it adheres to the vessel wall, and if there are any complications such as vessel wall tears or blood clot formation 
 
<h2>Why use OCT </h2>
OCT examination helps make coronary angioplasty more accurate, reducing the chance of complications such as stent displacement, blood clots, or restenosis, and also increases the long-term success rate of the treatment 
 
OCT technology is a significant step in enhancing the efficiency and safety of coronary angioplasty, making treatment more precise, reducing the risk of complications, and increasing the chances for patients to have a better quality of life after treatment
 
If you or your loved ones need coronary angioplasty, inquiring about the use of OCT technology during treatment is an option that helps ensure the best heart care
