Interventional Procedures

1. Angioplasty: Here a catheter is inserted into the blood vessel through an incision in wrist or leg. When the catheter reaches the target, it gets inflated and pushes plaque to the walls of artery. This is used to open arteries that have been blocked by atherosclerosis. Angioplasty is also known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
2. Valvuloplasty: This procedure is used to repair narrow heart valves.
3. Congenital heart defect correction: Percutaneous approaches are used to correct ASD and VSD.
4. Percutaneous valve repair: Interventional cardiologists uses catheters to guide devices through blood vessels to repair the damaged valves.
