Interventional Cardiology

Interventional cardiology

Human heart is a delicate and complex organ with an intricate network of blood vessels. Technological advancements have made diagnosing and treating heart conditions a lot safer. Interventional procedures include a range of treatments used to diagnose and treat heart conditions.

 

What exactly is interventional cardiology?

Interventional cardiology deals with invasive techniques to diagnose and treat heart diseases. For instance, if a person has a blockage and a doctor recommends an angiography. It involves a procedure in which a wire is inserted into the peripheral arteries, that reaches the heart. This type of procedure falls under the category of invasive cardiology.

Angiography: 

It is a diagnostic test that uses X-ray imaging to visualize the blood vessels and identify blockages or other coronary abnormalities. It is also used as a guide for other interventional procedures. To know more, GET IN TOUCH NOW!

 

Angioplasty: 

It is a procedure used to open narrowed or blocked coronary or peripheral blood vessels. A small balloon is inserted through a catheter, then inflated to widen the vessel and improve blood flow. Then, a stent (a metallic hollow tube) is deployed in that part to maintain blood flow. Angioplasty is typically used to treat conditions such as coronary artery disease (CAD) and peripheral artery disease (PAD). To know more, GET IN TOUCH NOW!
 
 

Complex Coronary Interventions:

These include procedures that are more challenging and technically demanding than traditional angioplasty, such as procedures for multiple blocked vessels, chronic total occlusions, and Calcified or bifurcation lesions. These procedures are performed by interventional cardiologists and require special skills and equipment.
 
 

Coronary Imaging:

A combination of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and/or optical coherence tomography (OCT) is used with angiography to provide a more detailed view of the coronary artery and its blockage.
 
 

Valve Treatments:

Procedures such as transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and percutaneous mitral valve repair are used to treat conditions such as aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation.
 
 

Vascular Interventions:

Procedures such as peripheral angioplasty and stenting are used to treat conditions such as peripheral artery disease and carotid artery stenosis.
 
 

Electrophysiology:

The procedure includes catheter ablation, which is used to diagnose and treat arrhythmias by destroying small areas of heart tissue that are causing abnormal electrical activity.
