Interventional Cardiac Conditions, Diagnostics & Treatments
Many procedures done in the Cardiovascular Intervention Center involve heart catheterization, a process by which tubes (catheters) are threaded through an artery and vein to the heart where various procedures can be done. These include:
- Angiography
- Angioplasty and stenting of arteries
- Heart muscle biopsy
- Coronary atherectomy
- Septal ablation
- Valvuloplasty
- Electrophysiology studies
- Temporary and permanent pacemaker implantation
- Insertion of implantable defibrillators
- Radiofrequency ablation for cardiac arrhythmias
The Electrophysiology Laboratory is part of the Cardiovascular intervention Center. In these laboratories, a wide range of invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for regular heartbeat is performed. These procedures include electrophysiology studies, arrhythmia mapping, radiofrequency ablation, implantable cardioverter defibrillator and pacemaker implantation.
