Intervention Cardiology

Interventional cardiology can address conditions like coronary artery narrowings, aortic stenosis, and selected arrhythmias.

These minimally invasive catheter-based treatments offer you a less invasive option, a faster recovery, and generally fewer complications compared to conventional surgery.

Coronary

Your heart has left and right coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart muscles, allowing it to function properly. If these arteries become narrowed or blocked, it can impair your heart's performance, causing chest pain, shortness of breath, and other symptoms.

To accurately diagnose any issues with your coronary arteries, we use coronary angiography, which is the most reliable and effective method for heart diagnostics.

Coronary Angiography

A coronary angiogram is an x-ray procedure or test, used to examine the arteries of the heart.

The coronary arteries supply the heart muscle with blood and oxygen, so that the heart can pump and supply blood to the rest of the body.

The coronary angiogram is performed in a Cardiac Catheterisation Lab, Cath Lab for short, which is fitted with a specialised x-ray machine.

Coronary Angioplasty /Stenting

Coronary angioplasty is a non-surgical means for opening blocked coronary arteries using fine tubes called catheters introduced usually from the wrist or sometimes the groin is used. Most narrowing’s are best treated with balloons and stents (fine mesh tubes). Stents reduce the chance of re-narrowing.

Angioplasty is carried out in an angiography suite (theatre) called a “Cath Lab”.
