The newest methods of treatment are also introduced, such as denervation of kidney arteries in malignant hypertension, implantation of completely dissolvable vessel carcass — scaffold Absorb, using OCT (optic-coherent tomography), measuring the gradient of pressure inside the coronary artery (FFR).
