Actually the latest treatment information and current coronary heart. So far people only know the treatment for coronary heart disease is by way of by-pass surgery, stents (ring wire) and balloons. But there is now another alternative is to do balloons in which there are drugs (drug eluted baloon / DEB).
In essence, all existing treatments for coronary heart serves to widen the arterial line (blood vessel) so that blood can flow smoothly again. By DEB method, then the blood vessels can be dilated again with the help of the balloon and the drug (paclitaxel) contained in it, this drug will be absorbed quickly and prevent the emergence of new crust.
"The rate of relapse when using a balloon was as big as 30 to 50 percent, with the use of stents by 15 to 20 percent if using DEB then relapsed only 1-digit numbers around 5 percent," said Prof.. Dr. Dr. Teguh Santoso, SpPD, KKV, SpJP, FIHA, FACC, FESC.
If using the DEB, the balloon is inserted using a catheter to inflate for 30 seconds in an area that narrows blood vessels and existing drugs in it will seep into the blood vessels. Within 10 seconds of drugs will be distributed in blood vessels. This technique does not cause side effects or inflammation and blood-thinning medications should be consumed by the patient only 3 months.
"If using a stent, a long release time and dosage of drugs used little. While the DEB time need faster and larger doses can cure," says Martin Unverdorben, Medical Doctor and Corporate Vice President of Scientific Affairs BBraun.
Firm in Asia revealed that many cases there is a blockage of small blood vessels and to address them most effectively when using a technique DEB. Because the smallest size of 2.25 mm stent only and can not reach all areas such as the branching of blood vessels or blood vessel area that long.
Also if using stents not all parts exposed to the drug, as in the crevices of the stent there were no drugs, allowing the crust again. While in drug distribution DEB evenly and not leave anything inside the blood vessels thus preventing the occurrence of thrombosis (blood clots).
"Usually after 6 months if all goes well and no problems, then so too will remain good," said the doctor who received his PhD and Professor of the Faculty of medicine is.
Treatment for coronary heart disease are 'spot treatment', meaning that all patients who have received treatment should make changes in lifestyle or behavior in order to avoid narrowing of return elsewhere. One way is to quit smoking, due to coronary heart disease patients under the age of 40 years almost all of them are smokers.
