Severe Coronary Artery Narrowing Now Treatable in Mongolia
Society
Ulaanbaatar, May 22, 2025 /MONTSAME/. The Second State Central Hospital of Mongolia has installed and put into operation the IVUS+NIRS imaging diagnostic device, a technology globally recognized in cardiovascular medicine.
With the introduction of this advanced technology, it has become possible to treat severe coronary artery stenosis, which was previously untreatable in Mongolia. The system also allows for the treatment of coronary artery dysplasia in accordance with international standards, helping reduce complications and mortality rates. It improves the precision of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures through evidence-based diagnostics.
Studies have shown that the use of stents placed with this device reduces the risk of vascular failure by 38–45 percent over a three-year period compared to other treatment methods. According to the Ministry of Health, the adoption of this equipment paves the way for Mongolian patients to access internationally recognized, effective treatments for complex coronary conditions.
In line with the Government's Health Policy, a team of five physicians from the Second State Central Hospital recently completed specialized training in Shanghai, China, aimed at localizing the treatment of severe coronary artery stenosis and vascular dysplasia in Mongolia.
