What Is Interventional Cardiology?
Interventional cardiology involves minimally invasive procedures aimed
at diagnosing and treating heart disease. Our interventional cardiology
procedures are designed to reduce pain, improve recovery, and decrease
the risk of complications. We provide personalized care tailored to your
specific needs, in order to allow for best possible results. Such interventions
may include:
Atherectomy: a peripheral intervention that opens arteries blocked by plaque
Balloon angioplasty: a procedure used to open narrowed or blocked arteries
Cardiac Catheterization: This diagnostic procedure allows our cardiologists to identify blocked
arteries by injecting a dye into the blood vessels.
Carotid Artery Stenting: This procedure is used to prevent strokes in patients with carotid artery
disease. A stent is inserted into the carotid artery to restore blood
flow to the brain.
Intravascular ultrasound: is a diagnostic test that uses sound waves to see inside blood vessels.
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI): Also known as angioplasty, PCI is used to open blocked coronary arteries
and improve blood flow to the heart. It may involve placement of a stent
to keep the artery open.
Peripheral Vascular Interventions: These procedures are utilized to treat diseases in the blood vessels outside
of the heart and brain.
Thrombectomy: A surgery to remove a blood clot from an artery or vein.
