Our Specialties

Our Interventional Cardiology and Surgical Procedures

We cover the entire care chain: precise diagnosis (imaging), non-invasive treatment (stents) and major surgery.

Coronary Angiography

The gold standard examination for visualizing the state of your arteries.

Coronary Artery Diagnosis

Also called coronary angiography, this imaging technique uses contrast agent to accurately identify narrowing or blockage of arteries supplying the heart.

Coronary Exploration

This is the essential step before deciding on angioplasty or bypass. It is often performed on an outpatient basis or with a short hospitalization.

Cardiac Angioplasty (Stent Placement)

Treatment for blocked arteries without open surgery.

Coronary Angioplasty

A minimally invasive procedure that widens a narrowed coronary artery, usually with a stent to restore blood flow.

View details

Coronary Artery Dilation

Once the narrowing is located by angiography, the cardiologist introduces a small balloon to dilate the artery.

Coronary Stent Placement

To keep the artery open long-term, we place a cardiac stent (small metal spring, often drug-eluting) that restores normal blood flow. This is the key treatment for angina or post-infarction angioplasty.

Coronary Bypass (Cardiac Surgery)

The surgical solution for complex cases.

Coronary Bypass Surgery

When arteries are too damaged for a stent (or in case of multiple bypass), the surgeon creates a bypass (a bridge) using a vein or artery harvested from the patient to circumvent the blocked area.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the success rate of coronary bypass?
This is a legitimate question. The coronary bypass success rate is excellent, exceeding 95% to 98% when performed by expert teams like our partners. The benefit on quality of life and longevity is proven long-term.
What is the difference between angiography and angioplasty?
Coronary angiography is the diagnostic examination (we take images to see blockages). Cardiac angioplasty is the therapeutic procedure (we repair the artery with a balloon and stent) that often takes place right after angiography if necessary.
What is the price of coronary angiography in Tunisia?
The coronary angiography price in Tunisia is significantly lower than European rates (often 3 to 4 times cheaper for uninsured patients). Similarly, a coronary bypass package price in Tunisia including hospitalization remains very competitive. Request a precise quote from HEAL U.
Can I fly after stent placement?
After uncomplicated angioplasty with stent in Tunisia, flying is generally possible after a few days (48h to 72h), subject to the cardiologist's approval (Fit to Fly). For bypass, the delay is longer (2 to 3 weeks).
How are emergency cases handled?
Although medical tourism often concerns scheduled care, our partner clinics have emergency angioplasty facilities operational 24/7. If an imminent risk is detected during your assessment, care is immediate.
Are the stents used of good quality?
Absolutely. We exclusively use drug-eluting stents from major international brands (American or European), guaranteeing the best long-term patency rate for blocked artery treatment.
Is there post-operative follow-up?
Yes. Post-operative cardiac follow-up is crucial. Before your departure, a complete assessment is done. Once home, HEAL U facilitates the transmission of your complete surgical file to your local treating physician to ensure continuity of care.
Do you handle valvular diseases?
Yes, in addition to coronary issues, our surgeons treat valve pathologies (repair or valve replacement) as well as rhythm disorders (pacemaker). Specify your pathology when requesting a cardiology quote in Tunisia.
