Interventional & Emergency Cardiology
It is a diagnostic procedure used to visualize the heart’s blood vessels and detect blockages or narrowing in the coronary arteries. A special dye and X-ray imaging help our cardiologists identify the exact location and severity of obstruction, enabling accurate treatment planning such as angioplasty or bypass surgery.
Coronary Angiography (CAG)
Coronary Angioplasty
It is a minimally invasive procedure to open blocked or narrowed coronary arteries and restore normal blood flow to the heart. A small balloon and stent are used to widen the artery, relieving chest pain and reducing the risk of heart attack. This procedure helps improve heart function and overall quality of life.
Primary Coronary Angioplasty
Primary Coronary Angioplasty is an emergency procedure performed during a heart attack to quickly open a blocked coronary artery and restore blood flow. It involves inserting a balloon and stent to prevent further heart muscle damage and improve survival outcomes. Timely angioplasty greatly reduces complications and promotes faster recovery.
Rotablation Angioplasty
Rotablation Angioplasty is an advanced procedure used to treat severely calcified or hard blockages in the coronary arteries. A tiny rotating burr is used to gently remove plaque buildup, allowing smoother blood flow and better stent placement. This technique is especially beneficial for complex or previously untreated artery blockages.
Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS)
Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) is an advanced imaging technique that provides a detailed, real-time view of the inside of coronary arteries. Using a tiny ultrasound probe placed within the artery, it helps our cardiologists assess plaque buildup, artery size, and stent placement accuracy. IVUS ensures precise diagnosis and improves the success and safety of angioplasty procedures.
Pacemaker Implantation
Pacemaker Implantation is a procedure to regulate abnormal heart rhythms by placing a small electronic device under the skin near the chest. The pacemaker sends electrical signals to help the heart beat at a normal rate and rhythm, improving blood flow and reducing symptoms like fatigue or dizziness. It offers long-term relief for patients with slow or irregular heartbeats.
AICD & CRT Implantation
AICD (Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator) and CRT (Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy) are advanced treatments for heart rhythm disorders and heart failure. AICD corrects life-threatening arrhythmias, while CRT improves heart pumping by synchronizing its chambers. Both devices help enhance heart function and overall quality of life.
Device Closure for Congenital Heart Diseases
Device Closure is a minimally invasive treatment to close heart defects like ASD or VSD without open-heart surgery. A small device is placed through a catheter to seal the hole, restoring normal blood flow and heart function. It’s a safe, effective, and quick recovery procedure for both children and adults.
Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (CABG) is performed to restore normal blood flow to the heart by creating a new pathway around blocked arteries using a healthy blood vessel graft. This procedure relieves chest pain, improves heart function, and reduces the risk of heart attack for long-term cardiac health.
Valve Replacement Surgery
Valve Replacement Surgery is performed to treat damaged or narrowed heart valves that affect proper blood flow. The diseased valve is replaced with a mechanical or biological one to restore normal heart function, reduce symptoms, and improve overall quality of life. It’s a safe and effective treatment for long-term cardiac wellness.
