Interventional/Invasive Cardiology

Interventional cardiologists specialize in approved forms of therapy in the area of interventional treatment. Using the most modern techniques and equipment, balloon angioplasty, atherectomy, rotablator, and stent deployment are among the procedures we perform on patients who have coronary artery or peripheral vascular disease.

Cardiac Catheterization

Cardiac catheterization (cardiac cath or heart cath) is a procedure to examine how well your heart is working. A thin, soft tube called a catheter is inserted into a large blood vessel that leads to your heart.

Coronary Angioplasty /PCI

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), also known as coronary angioplasty, is a nonsurgical procedure that improves blood flow to your heart. PCI requires cardiac catheterization, which is the insertion of a catheter tube and injection of contrast dye, usually iodine-based, into your coronary arteries. Doctors use PCI to open coronary arteries that are narrowed or blocked by the buildup of atherosclerotic plaque. PCI may be used to relieve symptoms of coronary heart disease or to reduce heart damage during or after a heart attack.

Coronary Stent

A stent is a small, expandable tube that can be inserted into a blood vessel and expanded using a small balloon during a procedure called angioplasty or also known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). A stent is used to open a narrowed or clotted blood vessel.
