Angioplasty (commonly known as "balloon surgery is an effective way to quickly restore blood flow by clearing blocked arteries. However, it is not a permanent fix. If low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or "bad") cholesterol remains elevated, the risk of re-blockage and heart disease recurrence remains high.
Dr Tse Tak-sun, Director of the Cardiac Catheterization & Interventional Centre and Honorary Consultant in Cardiology at Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong, emphasises that managing LDL cholesterol is key to preventing heart disease recurrence. According to the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines, patients who have undergone angioplasty should maintain their LDL cholesterol levels below 1.4 mmol/L, and reduce it by at least 50% from the original level. Recent studies have shown that combining PCSK9 inhibitors with oral cholesterol-lowering medications can further reduce bad cholesterol by 43% to 60%, helping to stabilise the condition and lower the risk of recurrence.
Dr Tse also recommends that patients regularly monitor their cholesterol levels, maintain an ideal body weight, and follow a balanced diet. This includes adopting a low-salt, low-sugar, and low-saturated-fat eating pattern to promote cardiovascular health and reduce the risk of disease recurrence. If the patient has already taken the maximum tolerated dose of oral cholesterol-lowering medication and cholesterol levels still do not meet the target, it is recommended that the patient discuss the needs of using of injectable cholesterol medication with their doctor to further manage the condition.

控制壞膽固醇 預防心臟病復發關鍵
「通波仔」手術能即時疏通阻塞血管，但並非一勞永逸。若壞膽固醇（LDL）水平持續偏高，心血管仍有機會再次阻塞，導致病情復發。
港怡醫院心臟導管及介入治療中心總監、心臟科名譽顧問醫生謝德新指出，控制壞膽固醇是預防心臟病復發的關鍵。根據歐洲心臟學會（ESC）指引，曾接受「通波仔」手術的患者，應將壞膽固醇水平控制在1.4 mmol/L以下，並需比原本水平下降至少50%。近年研究顯示，PCSK9抑制劑配合口服降膽固醇藥物使用，可進一步降低壞膽固醇達43%至60%，有助穩定病情，減低復發風險。
謝醫生亦建議患者定期監測膽固醇水平，維持理想體重，並遵循均衡飲食原則，採取低鹽、低糖及低飽和脂肪的飲食模式，以促進心血管健康，並降低疾病復發的風險。假如患者已服用最高可耐受劑量的口服降膽固醇藥物，但膽固醇水平仍未達標，建議患者與醫生商討是否有需要使用注射型膽固醇藥物，以進一步控制病情。
