SinoUnited Health Among Shanghai's First to Adopt the Latest-Generation Coronary Stent

On January 31, 2026, the Cardiology team at SinoUnited Health successfully implanted Medtronic Onyx TruStar™ stents as one of the first batches in Shanghai. This milestone represents not only a technological breakthrough but also a new commitment to patient care. As a cutting-edge achievement in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), this stent offers more treatment options and hope for patients with complex coronary artery disease.

Part 1 — Advanced Technology for Precise Protection

Compared with previous generations, the Onyx TruStar™ stent offers significant advantages:

• Its dual-layer flexible balloon design with a smaller crossing profile navigates tortuous, calcified, and complex anatomies more smoothly, lowering procedural difficulty and improving adaptability to complex lesions.
• The BioLinx polymer coating enables precise drug delivery and efficient endothelial healing, supporting a better long-term prognosis.
• It balances sufficient radial support to maintain lumen patency with excellent flexibility, conforming better to vascular anatomy and enhancing patient comfort and safety after surgery.

Part 2 — SinoUnited Health Strength: Professional Assurance

The success of these procedures reflects the comprehensive capabilities of SinoUnited Health's cardiology team. Its physicians bring extensive clinical experience and advanced technical skills, proficient in managing complex lesions with various interventional techniques. During procedures, the team used precise intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to clearly characterize lesion morphology, nature, and extent, providing critical data for personalized planning. Meticulous intraoperative technique and comprehensive post-procedure assessment ensured excellent outcomes.

Part 3 — Personalized Care and Holistic Patient Management

SinoUnited Health Cardiology is committed to personalized treatment, tailoring strategies to each patient's condition, lesion features, vascular status, and overall health through multidisciplinary collaboration. From precise preoperative evaluation and delicate intraoperative techniques to standardized rehabilitation and long-term follow-up, it has built a complete patient management system to optimize both short-term results and long-term prognosis.

Part 4 — Leading Innovation, Safeguarding Health

As one of Shanghai's first institutions to adopt the world's latest-generation coronary stent, SinoUnited Health Cardiology will continue to pursue cutting-edge technologies and strengthen clinical excellence, providing comprehensive cardiovascular care with greater precision, advanced concepts, and higher-quality service to help patients recover and return to healthy, fulfilling lives.
