Diagnostic Cardiac Angiograms

Left heart catheterization is an invasive surgery used to inspect the arteries and left side of the heart. It entails passing a small, flexible tube called a catheter into a blood vessel and into the heart. It has the capacity to gauge left ventricular pressure so we can examine the aorta and aortic valve and look for coronary artery obstructions. Symptoms of cardiac disease, such as chest pain, can be identified and treated using it.

Right heart catheterization is a process in which a catheter is put into your pulmonary artery during an invasive surgery to the right side of your heart. This test is performed to watch blood flow through your heart and assess your heart and lung pressures. This is the major artery that supplies blood to your lungs.

Percutaneous Intervention

This procedure shows if an artery of the heart is restricted or limited in its ability to carry blood to the remainder of the organ due to plaque buildup. An artery is opened by placing a drug-eluting stent inside, allowing blood to flow to the heart.

Angioplasty

This is an invasive treatment that entails inserting a tiny inflatable tube, a catheter, into an artery that has been blocked as a result of plaque development. The catheter is inflated to help widen and open the artery and allow blood flow.

Peripheral Vascular Angiograms

Interventions and diagnostics - An invasive technique that looks for blockages in the peripheral arteries that carry blood away from the heart and toward your extremities to give blood to your legs and feet. This treatment is used to assist, diagnose, or treat peripheral artery disease. If the blockage is substantial and requires intervention, the patient will be informed and given their agreement before the practitioner proceeds with the following options:

• Atherectomy - Plaque can be removed, dissolved, or broken up without creating a significant incision by using a thin, flexible catheter with a sharp blade, laser, or rotating device on the end.
• Percutaneous intervention - A drug-eluting stent will be inserted by the physician during this invasive operation to unblock an blocked artery and restore blood flow.

Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE)

Endovenous Ablation

This is a minimally invasive treatment to help treat chronic venous insufficiency or varicose veins. The larger superficial veins near to the skin's surface are heated and sealed off using radio frequency energy. The damaged vein is entered by a flexible catheter to direct blood flow by closing the vein and contracting the collagen in the walls of the vein.
