‘The results of this study provide reassurance that specialists treating patients with a heart attack can open more than one narrowed artery without increasing the total amount of heart damage.’ Dr Gerry McCann, NIHR Career Development Fellow, University of Leicester & Leicester’s Hospitals
A new study has examined the effects on the heart of treating multiple narrowed arteries - rather than just one – at the time of a heart attack. Specialist heart doctors increasingly treat patients with large heart attacks urgently with a procedure under local anaesthetic. The blocked blood vessel (artery), which causes the heart attack is opened by inserting a small metal scaffold (stent) at the blockage to hold the artery open...
