(Heart and Blood Vessels) |
The
Section of Cardiology provides patients with the latest
advances in care for disorders of the heart, arteries, veins
and lymphatic vessels.
Under
the Section of Cardiology is the Interventional Cardiology,
which deals specifically with the catheter-based treatment
of structural heart diseases. Our highly trained interventional
cardiologists can perform the following procedures:
•
Angioplasty (PTCA, Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty)
- for coronary atherosclerosis
• Valvuloplasty - dilation of narrowed cardiac valves
(usually mitral, aortic or pulmonary)
• Procedures for congenital heart disease - insertion
of occluders for ventricular or atrial septal defects, occlusion
of patent ductus arteriosus, angioplasty of great vessels
• Emergency angioplasty and stenting of occluded coronary
vessels in the setting of acute myocardial infarction
We
also provide comprehensive Critical Care for patients with
serious cardiovascular disorders and complications.
