Reviews
Specialties
A minimally invasive procedure used to evaluate the function of the heart and blood vessels using specialized catheters inserted into the cardiovascular system.
Performed in a cardiac catheterization laboratory (Cath Lab), this procedure allows physicians to measure pressures within the heart chambers and major blood vessels, identify blocked or narrowed coronary arteries, and treat certain conditions through interventions such as angioplasty and stent placement.
A minimally invasive procedure used to open narrowed or blocked coronary arteries and restore healthy blood flow to the heart muscle. The treatment typically involves the use of a small balloon and, when necessary, the placement of a stent to keep the artery open.
Coronary angioplasty can help relieve chest pain (angina), improve circulation to the heart, increase physical activity tolerance, reduce symptoms caused by restricted blood flow, and lower the risk of serious cardiac events in appropriately selected patients.
Structural heart intervention is a specialized field of interventional cardiology that uses advanced catheter-based techniques, balloons, and implantable devices to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the heart’s structure without the need for open-heart surgery.
These procedures may include the closure of congenital or acquired defects in the heart’s chambers, left atrial appendage closure to help reduce stroke risk in selected patients, treatment of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, minimally invasive mitral valve repair using MitraClip®, and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR/TAVI) for patients with aortic valve disease.
