Our interventional cardiologists specialize in catheter-based methods to treat coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease, valvular heart disease, and structural heart disease. These highly efficient techniques prevent the need for open-heart surgery, consequently reducing the risks associated with more invasive procedures. The techniques are the following:
- Obstructive coronary artery disease: balloon angioplasty, stent placement, rotational atherectomy, directional atherectomy, mechanical thrombectomy, and embolic protection
- Intravascular Ultrasound and FFR
- Stenotic valve disease: transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), balloon valvuloplasty
- Mitral valve disease: minimally invasive mitral valve repair and mitral valve replacement
- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: alcohol septal ablation
- Peripheral artery disease, including obstructive carotid artery disease: balloon angioplasty, stent placement, and atherectomy
- Atrial septal defect and patent foramen ovale: non-surgical closure
