Interventional cardiology involves minimally invasive procedures performed through small catheters inserted via blood vessels. These techniques allow treatment of coronary artery disease without open-heart surgery in many patients.

Key Procedures

• Coronary angiography

• Balloon angioplasty

• Coronary stent implantation

• Complex coronary interventions

• Structural heart interventions

Advantages

• No large surgical incisions

• Shorter hospital stay

• Faster recovery

• Reduced post-procedure discomfort

Interventional cardiology has revolutionized the treatment of blocked arteries and acute heart attacks.
