Interventional Cardiology
Interventional cardiologists use advanced imaging and minimally invasive techniques to treat structural heart and valve disorders, including:
- Aortic aneurysms
- Atrial and ventricular septal defects
- Blockage of coronary and peripheral arteries
- Left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion
- Mitral regurgitation
- Mitral stenosis
- Narrowed or weakened arteries (carotid, coronary, renal, venous)
- Pulmonary valve disease
- Severe aortic stenosis
- Tricuspid valve disease
In addition to traditional techniques, specialists utilize innovative approaches to repair the structure of the heart, such as:
- Mitral clips to help the mitral valve close more tightly
- Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)
- Transcatheter pulmonic valve replacement
- Valve-in-valve replacement
