Angioplasty
Bifurcation lesion means there is a blockage in a site where the blood vessel divides into two and is more challenging to treat. Two branches of the blood vessel have narrowing. If a balloon angioplasty is performed in one, there are chances of the other branch closing. Conventionally one or two stents are placed and there are chances of recurrence in the side branch.
The Interventional Cardiology Centres are manned by senior Cardiologists trained in India and abroad. Coronary stenting is routine and performed by most of the interventional cardiologists. Patients with high risk and multi vessel involvement are also treated. Primary angioplasty, an approach of opening blocked coronary artery during acute myocardial infarction, in place of thrombolysis is practised in suitable cases. The cardiologists have performed over 85000 angiographies and over 50000 coronary angioplasties since the establishment of Interventional Cardiology Centres. Non-coronary intervention deals with a variety of cardiovascular abnormalities. Subclavian, iliac, femoral and carotid artery balloon angioplasty and stenting are being performed. Vascular dissection and aneurysm repair are also conducted with covered stents.
Structural Heart Disease
Structural heart disease includes a bunch of illness/condition that are associated with Heart’s valve, chambers, or walls. These conditions can be innate for example from birth or may arise primarily as a result of valve dysfunction or maybe secondary to heart dysfunction. Structural heart intervention pertains to correction or management of such conditions without open/minimally invasive surgery by means of Transcatheter intervention.
