This procedure enables cardiologists to have a better look at the veins, blood vessels, and other parts of your heart and treat the problem accordingly. It is usually advised for patients showing symptoms of chest pain, unstable angina, and unexplained pain in arms, jaws, neck, etc.

Balloon Angioplasty

Balloon Angioplasty involves the use of a special thin tube ‘Cathetar’ that is inserted into the bloodstream to determine the problems in the blood flow. It helps cardiologists to understand the issue precisely and perform the treatment. This procedure is used for removing blocks in the arteries and repairing narrowed arteries.

Electrophysiology (EP)

An electrophysiology study is a minimally invasive procedure that enables the doctor to assess the electrical system or the electrical activity of your heart. It is done to diagnose arrhythmia or abnormal heartbeats. The procedure involves the insertion of a catheter (a fine tube) and wire electrodes into your heart through blood vessels for measuring electrical activities.

Heart Valve Surgery

It treats various types of heart valve diseases, improves blood flow in the right direction, and also improves the functioning and movements of heart valves. Heart Valve surgery can be performed with many different surgical approaches including minimally invasive techniques and open-heart surgery.

Pediatric Cardiac Surgery

Pediatric Cardiac Surgery is used for treating congenital heart defects in infants and children. The type and number of surgeries needed will depend on the severity of the condition. Certain defects are required to be treated immediately after birth, while some are treated after a few months or years as well. The surgeons initially use a minimally invasive technique, however, may choose more invasive methods if needed further.

Although it is complicated, it is still a safe and effective treatment that reduces the risk of heart failure or heart attack. However, it is only advised when no other treatment has been of any help to the patient.
