To keep your heart healthy, it must circulate 4,300 gallons of blood through your body each day. If the arteries delivering blood to your heart stiffen or become blocked, your heart will be deprived of the oxygen it needs to operate correctly. This can lead to heart attacks and heart failure.
Our interventional cardiologists use the most cutting-edge tests and procedures available to restore your heart's health and reduce the risk of a heart attack caused by a blockage.
Interventional cardiology uses non-surgical, minimally invasive methods to identify and treat heart illness. Incisions are made in the wrists or groyne to inject a catheter, a small, flexible tube, via the blood vessels.
Heart diseases that can be treated by interventional cardiology include those with narrowed arteries or weak heart valves. These procedures are provided in cardiac catheterization labs at three of Legacy's healthcare locations, where skilled medical personnel are on hand.
Our interventional cardiologists offer treatment for conditions like:
Interventional cardiology gives cardiac patients a wide range of advantages besides high success rates, such as:
Fewer aches and scars
Compared to standard surgery, interventional cardiology is less invasive. In order to install the catheter, the technique often calls for just one very small incision. Less pain is caused by the operation taking only about 30 minutes to finish.
Compared to other surgical procedures, recovery is rather quick. Following surgery, patients are not required to stay in the hospital.
Not only does interventional cardiology treat symptoms like chest discomfort and breathlessness, but it also clears blockages in the arteries, improves blood flow, and lowers the chance of a heart attack.
Given that the technique is minimally invasive, uncomfortable, and very effective, cardiologists advise interventional cardiology, particularly balloon valvuloplasty, for newborns and kids with heart issues.
When compared to conventional heart surgery procedures, interventional cardiology is less expensive.
As one of the top interventional cardiology programmes for congenital heart disease in the country, we provide alternatives that are not frequently offered. Furthermore, we provide accurate treatment because of our experience gained from carrying out a lot of surgeries. For more details contact our specialists.
