What is Interventional Cardiology Program?

The Cardiology Section is involved in treating patients with disorders of the heart and vascular tree including coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, valve disease, congenital heart defects, cardiomyopathy, and peripheral vascular disease.

Symptoms of reduced blood flow in a coronary artery include chest pain and shortness of breath.

  • Coronary perforation. How to treat emergency coronary perforation?
  • Balloon fracture. Complications: coronary balloon fracture.
  • Guidewire loss. Coronary guidewire loss: distal wire fragment fracture in the coronary circulation.
  • Coronary implant loss.
  • Rotablator.
  • Other complications.

Interventional cardiology is a non-surgical option which uses a small, flexible tube called a catheter to repair damaged or weakened vessels, narrowed arteries, or other affected parts of the heart structure.

  • Damage or bleeding in the blood vessels.
  • Restenosis (Scar tissue may grow within a stent)
  • Stent thrombosis (blood clots may form inside the stent)
  • Arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat)
  • Infection at the site of incision.

Preventive cardiology is a subspecialty focused on lowering patients' risk for developing heart disease and having a first heart attack or stroke while also preventing further issues in people who already have cardiovascular disease.
