Chinese cardiologists shared new technologies for treating atherosclerosis

Belarusian and Chinese cardiologists exchanged experiences. Chinese doctors proposed an innovative technology for treating coronary artery disease to their Belarusian colleagues. This technology is designed to help patients with severe atherosclerosis in cases when plaques in the vessels calcify. Chinese specialists implemented the intravascular lithotripsy technology. Research has been conducted for over 10 years. In the USA this technology received approval over five years ago. In China the corresponding approval was received over three years ago. The new technology for treating coronary artery disease is planned to be implemented in all regions of Belarus.
