Aster Hospital, Dubai uses novel dissolvable stent technology to treat artery blockage in the heart

 Blockage in arteries is a commonly diagnosed heart disease which if left untreated, can lead to heart attacks.UAE: A 32-year-old Southeast Asian male patient, diagnosed with Discrete Coronary Stenosis, a blockage in the arteries of the heart, was treated at Aster Hospital, Mankhool using a bio-absorbable and self-dissolving scaffold called “Magmaris”, one of the latest stent innovations in the field of Cardiology.Discrete Coronary Stenosis is a short segment blockage in the arteries of the heart due to presence of a lesion of size less than 10mm. This abnormality can be caused due to, but not limited to a number of factors such as high cholesterol, smoking, etc. *As per a study conducted by Aster Hospitals in 2018, this blockage is seen to develop earlier in age amongst Southeast Asian patients
