INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGY

  • Interventional cardiology at Apex Heart Hospital represents a cornerstone of advanced cardiovascular care, combining cutting-edge technology with expert clinical skill to diagnose and treat a wide range of heart conditions.
  • Equipped with state-of-the-art catheterization laboratories (cath labs), the hospital performs minimally invasive procedures to restore blood flow, repair defects, and treat structural heart diseases — often avoiding the need for open-heart surgery.

Focused Expertise in Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)

  • A primary focus at Apex is the management of coronary artery disease (CAD). Procedures such as angioplasty and stenting are performed to open blocked or narrowed arteries.
  • The hospital uses the latest drug-eluting stents to minimize restenosis and speed healing. In emergencies like heart attacks, Apex’s interventional cardiology team is available 24/7 for primary angioplasty, delivering life-saving care that limits damage to the heart muscle.

Advanced Imaging and Complex Interventions

  • Rotational Atherectomy
  • Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS)
  • Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
  • These technologies help in precisely evaluating and treating difficult lesions and guide accurate stent placement by offering high-resolution images from within the arteries, enhancing both safety and success rates.

Structural Heart Disease Interventions

  • Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)
  • Balloon Valvuloplasty
  • Device Closure for Atrial Septal Defects (ASD) and Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO)

Multidisciplinary, Patient-Centered Care

  • Every interventional procedure is performed by a highly experienced, fellowship-trained team that includes:
  • Interventional Cardiologists
  • Cardiac Anesthetists
  • Imaging Specialists
  • Critical Care Nurses
