What are interventional procedures?

Interventional procedures are minimally invasive treatments that use catheters, small instruments and imaging guidance to treat cardiovascular conditions affecting the blood vessels, valves and heart. These procedures often serve as an alternative to open surgical procedures, offering a targeted approach to improve blood flow, repair damaged vessels, and address complex heart issues.

TAVR procedure

Interventional procedure options

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)

This nonsurgical procedure helps open narrowed or blocked coronary arteries by inserting a tiny balloon into the coronary artery via a catheter.

Angioplasty and valvuloplasty

These procedures use balloon catheters to open narrowed blood vessels or heart valves, restoring blood flow and improving function.

Stent placement

A stent is a small mesh tube placed in a narrowed artery to keep it open, providing a long-term solution for restricted blood flow.

Interventional treatment

Our specialized treatments address a range of cardiovascular issues, often preventing the need for more invasive procedures and allowing for faster recovery times.

Arrhythmia ablation

This procedure uses targeted energy to correct abnormal heart rhythms by disrupting the electrical pathways causing the arrhythmia.

Alcohol septal ablation

A specialized treatment for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, this procedure reduces the thickened heart muscle that can obstruct blood flow.

Pacer/defibrillator implant

This procedure uses pacemakers and implantable defibrillators to regulate heart rhythms and prevent life-threatening arrhythmias, providing continuous support for patients with heart rhythm disorders

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)

TAVR is a minimally invasive alternative to open-heart surgery for patients with severe aortic valve stenosis, offering relief for those at higher risk from traditional surgery.

Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER)

TEER is used to treat mitral valve regurgitation, repairing the valve through a catheter-based approach that minimizes invasiveness.

Tissue sampling and biopsy

Interventional radiology procedures allow us to obtain tissue samples and perform biopsies with high precision, guided by advanced imaging.
