Advanced Cardiac Procedures

State-of-the-art cardiovascular procedures delivered by our expert team of specialists

Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP)
Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) is a non-invasive therapy designed to improve blood flow in patients with coronary artery disease. It works by increasing the return of blood to the heart and enhancing circulation within the coronary arteries. EECP helps stimulate the formation of collateral vessels, which can bypass blocked or narrowed arteries. This treatment is especially beneficial for “no-option” patients—those who are not suitable candidates for bypass surgery, angioplasty, or stenting, yet continue to experience symptoms such as angina. Our clinic introduced EECP in 2015 and remains the only facility offering this therapy in the country and region. EECP is FDA-approved and endorsed by the European Society of Cardiology for patients with angina and heart failure who are not eligible for surgical procedures.

Key Benefits:

  • Non-surgical, painless procedure
  • Enhances blood circulation to the heart
  • Reduces symptoms of angina and heart failure
Laser and Radiofrequency Ablation for Varicose Veins
This is our Phlebology (vein care) service, dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of varicose veins. We offer minimally invasive, outpatient alternatives to traditional vein stripping, performed comfortably in our clinic. Our team introduced this advanced procedure to the country in 2005, and since then, it has become a preferred treatment option. Patients are able to walk immediately after the procedure and return home the same day, with minimal downtime.

Key Benefits:

  • Minimally invasive with no surgical scars
  • Performed under local anesthesia
  • Fast recovery
Foam Sclerotherapy for Varicose Veins
Foam Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment used to manage varicose and spider veins. A specialized foam solution is injected directly into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and eventually be reabsorbed by the body. This procedure effectively redirects blood flow to healthier veins, improving both symptoms and appearance. It is performed on an outpatient basis, requires no general anesthesia, and allows for a quick recovery with minimal discomfort.

Key Benefits:

  • Effective for smaller varicose veins
  • Minimally invasive, outpatient procedure
  • No need for general anesthesia
