Valvuloplasty

• Valvuloplasty, also known as balloon valvuloplasty, is a widely used non-surgical procedure to treat valve stenosis.
• Valvuloplasty is considered an alternative option to improve the quality of life in patients who otherwise are not a candidate for surgery.
• Balloon dilation of the aortic valve or mitral valve is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat valve stenosis (or the narrowing of the valve). For suitable cases, this procedure can be considered as an alternative to open surgical valvotomy.
• Congenital heart disease and other associated dysfunction of pulmonary arteries can be effectively treated using the balloon dilatation procedure.

Peripheral Angiography & Angioplasty

• Peripheral angiography is a minimally invasive diagnostic modality that helps to assess the arteries in the limbs and look out for any sort of blockage or abnormality. It is a catheter-based modality that uses an x-ray technique for detailed vision. The catheter is introduced inside the patient's body via the groin.
• Angioplasty is a procedure that aims at treating arterial blockages during angioplasty. This is done with the help of a balloon catheter which is introduced inside the blocked artery. Once in place, the balloon is inflated to open the narrowed walls and once the blockage is cleared, the catheter is removed carefully.

Carotid Interventions

• Carotid arteries are a pair of arteries that carry blood to the brain and head. Deposition of fat and calcium in the arteries over time can cause the narrowing of arteries and often results in a condition called carotid artery stenosis. Such kinds of stenosis can be effectively treated with a minimally invasive angioplasty procedure.
• The angioplasty procedure uses a specialized flexible device called a catheter. The catheter, equipped with a tiny balloon at its tip, is inserted into the blocked artery. Then, the balloon gets inflated against the walls of the arteries. It opens the narrowed artery and improves the blood flow.
• The interventionist then removes the balloon.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)

• Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) is a catheter-based procedure used to replace the diseased aortic valves through blood vessels in contrast with open-heart surgery.
• TAVR may be considered an option for patients who are at high risk of complications from open-heart surgery.

Electrophysiology (EP) study + RFA

• Electrophysiology (EP) test is a catheter-assisted minimally invasive procedure used to examine the heart’s electrical activity. This test helps cardiologists to determine arrhythmias (irregular heart rhythm).
• EP studies + RFA helps to treat various arrhythmia like SVT / AF / VT

Cardiac Pacemaker and Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD)

• An artificial cardiac pacemaker is an implantable medical device that generates small electrical impulses to the heart muscles to regulate the conduction system of the heart. The pacemaker procedure is relatively safe and often requires minor incision surgery.
• An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is a specialized implantable electrical device that looks similar to a pacemaker. It is used to treat abnormal heartbeats. However, the key difference between the two is an ICD can also shock the heart if it detects a dangerous heart rhythm.

Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR)

• Endovascular aneurysm repair is a non-surgical minimally invasive procedure used to treat vascular aneurysms. A vascular aneurysm is a medical condition that refers to the enlargement of the artery.
• EVAR uses special endovascular instruments to insert a stent graft to fix the weakened or enlarged artery.
