University Hospital provides specialized Angioplasty with a focus on minimally invasive treatment, patient safety, and effective restoration of blood flow. Established in 1842, the SAC accredited hospital is located in Basel, Switzerland and operates 773 beds with modern cardiac infrastructure.

Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to open narrowed or blocked blood vessels, particularly coronary arteries. The cardiologist guides a catheter through a blood vessel to the site of the blockage and inflates a small balloon to widen the artery. A stent may then be placed to provide ongoing support and maintain blood flow. Before the procedure, the medical team reviews the patient's symptoms, medical history, angiography findings, and overall health to determine the appropriate treatment strategy. After angioplasty, follow-up care and prescribed medications are important for maintaining the benefits of treatment.
