Risks may include infection, bleeding, neurological deficits, and complications related to anesthesia. Your surgeon will discuss these risks in detail.

Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) therapy is a non-invasive treatment that helps improve blood flow to the heart and relieve symptoms of angina and heart failure.

EECP therapy uses inflatable cuffs wrapped around the legs to compress and decompress the blood vessels, promoting increased blood flow to the heart during the relaxation phase of the heartbeat.

Patients with chronic stable angina, heart failure, or those who are not suitable candidates for invasive procedures like angioplasty or bypass surgery may benefit from EECP therapy.

EECP therapy can help reduce angina symptoms, improve exercise tolerance, enhance the quality of life, and decrease the need for medication in some patients.

Each EECP session typically lasts about one hour and is usually conducted five days a week for a total of seven weeks.

Lumpectomy preserves more of the breast tissue, while mastectomy involves removing the entire breast. Both have similar long-term survival rates for early-stage breast cancer.
