Coronary Angiography: Imagine it as a detailed map of your heart's highways. This procedure uses a special dye and X-rays to identify blockages or narrowings in the coronary arteries, the vital blood vessels supplying your heart.
Angioplasty: Think of it as unclogging a blocked pipe. During this procedure, a tiny balloon is carefully guided into the blocked artery and then inflated to widen the narrowed area, improving blood flow to the heart muscle and restoring optimal function.
Echocardiography: This technique uses sound waves to generate detailed images of the heart. Transthoracic Echocardiography involves placing a probe on the chest to capture images, while transesophageal Echocardiography uses a probe inserted through the mouth for more precise and detailed visuals. These procedures are essential for diagnosing and managing various heart conditions, ultimately enhancing heart health and overall well-being.
Precision Angioplasty: This cutting-edge technique enhances the accuracy and effectiveness of angioplasty procedures by utilizing advanced imaging technologies, such as intravascular cameras. Providing real-time, high-resolution images of the blood vessels allows for the precise placement of balloons and stents, ensuring that blockages are treated with pinpoint accuracy. This meticulous approach minimizes complications, reduces recovery time, and significantly improves patient outcomes. Imaging-guided precision PCI represents a significant advancement in cardiovascular care, offering patients a safer and more effective solution for restoring optimal heart health.
Peripheral Angiogram: Similar to coronary angiography, this procedure focuses on imaging blood vessels in other body parts, such as the legs or arms, to detect blockages or narrowing. Using a special dye and X-rays provides a detailed view of the peripheral arteries, helping doctors diagnose and plan the best course of treatment for vascular conditions.
Peripheral Angioplasty: This technique involves opening up blocked or narrowed vessels in the peripheral regions to restore proper blood flow. A tiny balloon is guided into the affected artery and inflated to widen the vessel, sometimes accompanied by stent placement to keep the artery open. This minimally invasive procedure enhances circulation, alleviates pain, and can significantly improve mobility and quality of life for patients with peripheral artery disease.
Valvular Procedures: Specialized treatments for addressing heart valve issues, including procedures like Percutaneous Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty (PBMV) to open narrowed valves, Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) for replacing aortic valves, and TRIC Valve for repairing severe leaks in right-side heart valves. TMVR and VIV Interventions: Techniques involving the placement of a new valve inside a malfunctioning old valve, effectively avoiding the need for traditional surgery.
Device Closures: Non-surgical methods to close congenital heart defects such as Atrial Septal Defect (ASD), Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD), Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA), or Ruptured Sinus of Valsalva (RSOV), promoting better heart function and healthy development in children. These procedures are minimally invasive, reducing recovery time and minimizing discomfort. By addressing these defects early, children can lead healthier, more active lives.
Fistuloplasty: This procedure repairs narrowed or blocked blood vessels and is commonly used to maintain or improve dialysis access for patients with kidney disease.
IVC Filter Placement: A device is inserted into the inferior vena cava to prevent blood clots from traveling to the lungs, reducing the risk of pulmonary embolism.
DVT Aspiration: This technique removes clots from veins to enhance blood flow and reduce the risk of
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) complications.
Rotablation and Orbital atherectomy: These advanced techniques break up hardened plaque in blood vessels, improving blood flow and making stent placement more effective.
IVL (Intravascular Lithotripsy): Utilizing sound waves to fracture calcified plaque within arteries, this therapy facilitates more accessible and safer stent placement in patients with severe arterial calcification.
Pacemakers: This cutting-edge technique enhances the accuracy and effectiveness of angioplasty procedures by utilizing advanced imaging technologies, such as intravascular cameras. Providing real-time, high-resolution images of the blood vessels allows for the precise placement of balloons and stents, ensuring that blockages are treated with pinpoint accuracy. This meticulous approach minimizes complications, reduces recovery time, and significantly improves patient outcomes. Imaging-guided precision PCI represents a significant advancement in cardiovascular care, offering patients a safer and more effective solution for restoring optimal heart health.
AICD and CRT-D: Advanced devices that not only correct irregular heartbeats but also counteract life-threatening arrhythmias and synchronize the heart's pumping action in certain conditions, offering comprehensive cardiac rhythm management.
