Patients with heart or vascular problems that are doped by appointment at Treant no longer in the hospital after the procedure
Spend the night.
The procedure can be performed in day recording since the beginning of this year. When doping a balloon, a narrowing in a coronary artery is widened. After that, a stent, a kind of tube, is usually placed in the vein.
The doping is done at the Scheper location in Emmen. The treatment is carried out about 850 times per year. Around 100 patients are eligible for doping in day treatment.
“Patuents like it and the day admission within our hospital also causes less pressure on the bedtime,” says Team leader Bert Hamberg of the Hart Intervention Center of Treant.
