Interventional Cardiology
What is Interventional Cardiology?
Interventional Cardiology is a branch of cardiology that focuses on diagnosing and treating cardiovascular diseases using catheter-based techniques. These procedures are minimally invasive, meaning they often require only a small incision or no incision at all. This approach results in faster recovery, less discomfort, and lower risk compared to traditional surgery.
Our Specialized Procedures
At Orlando Heart and Vascular, our interventional cardiologists are skilled in performing a wide range of procedures to treat heart conditions. Some of the key services we offer include:
Angioplasty
A procedure to open narrowed or blocked blood vessels of the heart, often using a balloon to restore blood flow.
Stenting
Placement of a small mesh tube (stent) to keep arteries open after an angioplasty, ensuring long-term blood flow improvement.
Atherectomy
A procedure that removes plaque from arteries using a specialized catheter, helping to improve blood circulation.
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)
A surgical procedure where blood is rerouted around blocked arteries to improve blood flow to the heart.
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Treatment
Using interventional techniques, we treat blockages in arteries outside the heart, particularly in the legs.
