Interventional Cardiology

About Interventional Cardiology

Interventional cardiology is a branch of cardiology that deals specifically with the catheter-based treatment of heart diseases. Unlike traditional cardiology that may involve medication or non-invasive tests, interventional cardiology focuses on procedures that involve entering the body through the arteries to treat cardiovascular conditions. This field has revolutionized the treatment of heart diseases, providing minimally invasive options that reduce recovery times and improve patient outcomes.

Key Procedures in Interventional Cardiology

Angioplasty and Stent Placement

This is the most common procedure. It involves using a balloon to open up blocked or narrowed coronary arteries.

Atherectomy

This involves removing plaque from the arteries using various devices, such as a laser or a rotating shaver.

Embolic Protection

Devices used during angioplasty or stenting to capture and remove debris that may break loose and cause blockages elsewhere in the vascular system.

Valvuloplasty

A procedure to open up a narrowed heart valve by inflating a balloon inside the valve.

Percutaneous Valve Repair and Replacement

This is the most common procedure. It involves using a balloon to open up blocked or narrowed coronary arteries.

Uses of Interventional Cardiology

Treatment of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)

By reopening blocked arteries, interventional cardiology can restore normal blood flow to the heart muscle, relieving symptoms such as chest pain and preventing heart attacks.

Heart Attack Management

During a heart attack, immediate intervention can restore blood flow, limit heart muscle damage, and save lives.

Treatment of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)

Interventions can be used to open up narrowed arteries in the limbs, improving blood flow and reducing symptoms like pain and cramping.

Stroke Prevention

Procedures like LAAC can significantly reduce the risk of stroke in patients with certain types of arrhythmias.

Congenital Heart Defects

Interventions can correct structural heart problems present from birth.

Repair and Replacement of Heart Valves

For patients with valve diseases who are not candidates for open-heart surgery, interventional cardiology offers less invasive alternatives.
