What is interventional cardiology?

Interventional cardiology can treat coronary artery narrowings, aortic stenosis, selected arrhythmias and other conditions.

Minimally invasive catheter based treatments are often preferred to conventional surgery because they are less invasive, there is a faster recovery, and generally fewer complications.

Interventional cardiology procedures include

Intravascular imaging
Chronic total occlusion CTO)
Cardiac catheterisation/Angiogram
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)/Angioplasty
Alcohol septal ablation
Angioplasty and stents
Pacemakers
Medications
Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD)
