Coronary Angioplasty with Stenting at the Clínic

There are patients with ischaemia and non-obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA), who usually suffer chest pain (angina pectoris) daily, but have no narrowing in their coronary arteries. These patients are usually examined by a long line of cardiologists and specialists without a definitive diagnosis being reached.

At the Clínic, we have a specific diagnostic and therapeutic path for this type of patient. After an initial visit to the cardiology clinic, a specific diagnosis is made after special tests, such as the microcirculation test and coronary vasospasm. These help diagnose the cause of angina (coronary vasospasm or angina of the heart microarteries) and individual treatment for each patient is given to improve their quality of life.

This specialised diagnosis and treatment circuit for INOCA also involves a clinical psychologist, since stress and anxiety are related to this type of disease.

The Clínic also offers specialised cardiology follow-up for complex patients, either due to having two or more diseases (comorbidities) or due to their coronary anatomy. This is because they are more likely to have a restenosis or refractory angina, so stricter testing is performed in the outpatient clinic.
