About this specialty
Interventional cardiology is a subspecialty that treats heart disease through catheter-based procedures rather than open surgery: coronary angioplasty and stenting, transcatheter aortic valve replacement, edge-to-edge mitral repair, balloon valvuloplasty, and closure of atrial septal defects and patent foramen ovale.
These are precise procedures whose outcomes depend heavily on selecting the right patient for them. Our consultants read your angiography, echocardiography and CT images with you, set out the alternatives, and explain what makes your case a candidate for a transcatheter procedure, for conventional surgery, or for continued medical therapy.
