Frequently Asked Questions

Interventional cardiology is a branch of cardiology that deals specifically with catheter-based treatments of heart diseases. Procedures are performed using thin, flexible tubes called catheters that are inserted into blood vessels and guided to the heart to diagnose and treat cardiovascular conditions, avoiding the need for open-heart surgery.

Interventional cardiology can treat various conditions, including coronary artery disease (blockages in the heart's arteries), heart valve diseases (such as aortic stenosis), congenital heart defects (like atrial septal defects), and peripheral artery disease (blockages in the arteries of the limbs).

Common procedures include angioplasty (using a balloon to open up blocked arteries), stent placement (inserting a small mesh tube to keep arteries open), atherectomy (removal of plaque from arteries), and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for aortic valve stenosis.

Traditional cardiology focuses on the diagnosis and medical management of heart conditions using medications and lifestyle changes. Interventional cardiology, on the other hand, involves minimally invasive procedures to treat heart conditions directly. It bridges the gap between cardiology and cardiac surgery.

Benefits include less invasiveness compared to open-heart surgery, shorter hospital stays, quicker recovery times, reduced pain and scarring, and lower risk of complications such as infections. These procedures are often performed under local anesthesia and have high success rates.

Patients are typically awake but sedated during the procedure. A catheter is inserted through a small incision, usually in the groin or wrist, and guided to the heart using imaging technology. The procedure may take a few hours, and patients often stay in the hospital for observation afterward.

While generally safe, interventional cardiology procedures do carry some risks, including bleeding at the catheter insertion site, blood vessel damage, infection, allergic reactions to contrast dye, and, in rare cases, heart attack or stroke. However, the risks are generally lower compared to traditional surgery.
