Interventional cardiology is a branch of medical
specialty that deals with catheter-based treatment of structural heart
diseases. Different procedures can be performed on the heart by
catheterization. This commonly involves the insertion of a sheath into the
femoral artery and cannulating the heart under X-ray visualization. The
major advantage of using interventional cardiology is the avoidance of
scars, pain and long post-operative recovery associated with surgery.
The Department of Interventional Cardiology has the most advanced
facilities backed by a team of highly qualified surgeons and medical
practitioners. The catheterization lab of the department features real time
fluoroscope, road mapping and recursive filters along with cine-loop,
playback mode, multimap systems, and zooming facilities. The hospital
ensures complete patient care during and after the procedure with latest
monitoring facilities.
