What is Interventional Cardiology?

The increasing incidence of heart diseases and their complex nature gave rise to the need for a more precise and minimally invasive approach, which resulted in the advent of Interventional Cardiology.

A highly specialized branch of cardiology, Interventional Cardiology focuses on the management of various conditions that involve the blood vessels. The procedures are typically based on the catheterization technique, in which doctors introduce and guide a catheter, with a balloon fitted on one of its ends,towards the blocked artery and clear the blockage to restore normal blood flow.

Interventional cardiology has revolutionized cardiac care by allowing doctors to treat various problems without unnecessary damage to the surrounding tissues and structures. This has not only helped to lower the risks of complications but also made it possible for the patients to resume normal day-to-day activities in significantly less time.

What is Interventional Cardiology used for?

To visualize and treat peripheral artery disease
To visualize and treat carotid artery disease
To visualize and treat coronary artery disease
To assess and evaluate arterial blockage and determine the best course of treatment]
To help patients who are not responding to medication and other non-invasive treatments
To help patients who do not qualify for conventional surgery.
To alleviate the risks of potential heart complications due to arterial blockage

World-class interventions offered at Artemis Cardiac Centre:

Coronary and Radial Angiography: Angiography is an imaging technique that uses a minimally invasive approach for assessing, diagnosing and treating various heart problems. For precise visualization, doctors may need to inject a contrast dye material into the blood, making it possible for the doctors to assess the problem more clearly. Coronary angiography is done for blockage in the coronary artery, whereas radial angiography, or trans-radial cardiac catheterization, is performed by introducing the catheter into the radial artery.
Carotid Angioplasty: The procedure is performed on patients with carotid artery stenosis, a condition in which the carotid artery, which is responsible for supplying oxygenated blood to the brain, has become narrowed or blocked. The condition has been linked with increased incidences of stroke as disrupted blood flow can gradually cause the blood cells to die. The procedure is minimally invasive and highly effective.
Coronary Angioplasty: It offers a minimally invasive approach to treating the coronary arteries that have become blocked or narrowed due to various factors like plaque accumulation. The condition is referred to as coronary artery disease and happens to be one of the most common cardiovascular conditions affecting people worldwide. Coronary angioplasty helps to clear the blockage and restore normal blood circulation via the coronary artery.
Peripheral Angioplasty and Stenting: The procedure is performed on people with peripheral artery disease, a condition marked by an obstruction in the flow of blood via the peripheral artery, either due to a blockage or narrowing. PAD is a fairly common condition, characterized by severe leg pain, numbness and cramps. Peripheral angioplasty offers a minimally invasive approach to treating the problem, which can otherwise give rise to the need for amputation in extreme cases.
