Interventional cardiology at Fortis Hospital is dedicated to correcting and repairing weakened or damaged blood vessels, as well as addressing complex issues within the intricate structure of the heart. Utilizing catheters—small, flexible tubes—the medical team navigates through the vascular system to resolve concerns such as clogged arteries and compromised blood vessels.
Our department caters to a spectrum of common cardiovascular conditions, including:
- Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Involving the narrowing of arteries supplying blood and oxygen to the heart muscle.
- Heart Valve Disease: Occurring when the valves regulating blood flow into the heart’s chambers malfunction.
- Peripheral Vascular Disease: Impacting the heart due to obstruction or hardening of veins and arteries in other parts of the body.
The range of interventional cardiology procedures at Fortis includes:
- EP Study (Diagnostic) and Ablation: Utilizing catheter-based techniques to diagnose and treat abnormal heart rhythms.
- Angiography and Angioplasty: Addressing arterial issues in various parts of the body, including the neck, leg, arm, and kidney.
- Heart Failure Device and AICD Implantation: Implanting devices such as Automated Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators (AICDs) to manage heart failure.
- Coronary Angiography, Angioplasty, and Stenting: Targeting coronary artery disease through catheter-based interventions.
- ASD, VSD, PDA Device Closure: Closing congenital heart defects like Atrial Septal Defect (ASD), Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD), and Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) using devices.
- Valvuloplasty: Non-surgical treatment for heart valve conditions by inflating a balloon to open narrowed heart valves.
- Permanent Pacemaker (Single and Double Chamber) Implantation: Regulating heart rhythm with pacemaker implantation.
- Endovascular Aneurysm Repair: Repairing weakened areas in blood vessels, particularly addressing aneurysms.
Fortis Hospital’s commitment to excellence in interventional cardiology transcends technical proficiency, embracing a patient-centric approach to ensure optimal outcomes and the highest standards of care. Our team combines expertise with compassion, delivering comprehensive cardiovascular solutions through advanced catheter-based interventions.
