|| Interventional Cardiology ||
1. Complex Angioplasties
a). Shockwave Coronary Lithotripsy: The latest procedure which helps to open extremely hard calcium blockages with safety, in arteries of the heart. |
b). Laser Coronary Angioplasty:- Advanced procedure which opens 100% blocked arteries, or stents where traditional angioplasty fails. |
c). Impella Supported Angioplasty:- Miniaturised heart pump to support weak hearts when performing complex angioplasties, or saving a life in shock due to heart attack. |
2. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR):- A minimally invasive procedure to replace a damaged aortic valve. |
3. Mitra Clip:- A device to fix a leaky mitral valve without open-heart surgery. |
4. Intra Aortic Balloon Pump:- A device used to assist the heart in pumping blood and reduce its workload. |
5. FFR/OCT/IVUS:- Medical imaging techniques to diagnose and guide treatments for coronary artery disease.
-
|| Electrophysiology & Cardiac Pacing ||
1. Electrophysiology Study:- Involves the measurement and analysis of electrical activity in the heart or nerves to diagnose and treat various cardiac conditions. |
2. RF Ablation:- Uses high-frequency electrical currents to destroy abnormal tissue in medical procedures. |
3. Leadless Pacemaker:- A wire-free device implanted in the heart to regulate its rhythm. |
4. Permanent Pacemaker Implantation (PPI):- A surgical procedure to place a device that regulates the heart's rhythm when the natural electrical system is impaired. |
5. Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD):- An implantable device that treats life-threatening heart rhythm abnormalities. |
6. CRT-D:- A device that combines a pacemaker, defibrillator, and cardiac resynchronization therapy to treat heart conditions.
-
|| Paediatric Cardiac Surgery ||
1. Extracardiac Fontan:- A surgical procedure that reroutes blood flow directly from the body to the lungs in certain complex congenital heart conditions. |
2. Device Closure:- A medical procedure that uses implants to close congenital heart defects in children without the need for open-heart surgery. |
3. Congenital Heart Diseases / Septal Defects:- Heart conditions from birth, where septal defects involve abnormal heart chamber wall openings. |
4. Tetralogy of Fallot:- A complex congenital heart condition with four primary defects, leading to mixed blood flow in the body. |
5. Coarctation of Aorta:- A congenital narrowing of the body's main blood vessel, which can cause high blood pressure and reduced blood flow.
-
|| Adult Cardiac Surgery ||
1. Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG):- A heart surgery that creates new blood pathways to bypass blockages in the coronary arteries.
2. Aorta Centre:- Treating all kind of aortic diseases.
2. Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD):- A mechanical heart pump implanted to help the left ventricle pump blood in cases of severe heart failure.
3. Heart Transplant:- The surgical replacement of a damaged heart with a healthy one from a donor.
4. Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting:- A minimally invasive method to collect blood vessels for heart bypass surgery, using small incisions and a camera.
5. Total Arterial CABGs:- A heart bypass surgery using only arteries as grafts for better long-term results.
6. Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery:- Uses small incisions and specialized techniques for faster recovery in heart surgeries.
7. Valve Surgery:- Repairs or replaces malfunctioning heart valves to improve blood flow.
