Heart Care

Angiography is a diagnostic procedure used to visualise the inside of blood vessels, especially arteries, to identify any blockages or abnormalities. Using a contrast dye and X-rays, we can determine the health of your arteries and plan appropriate treatments. It is often the first step in diagnosing conditions like coronary artery disease.

Angioplasty, also known as balloon angioplasty, is a minimally invasive procedure aimed at widening narrowed or obstructed arteries or veins. A tiny balloon catheter is inserted into the blocked area and inflated to open up the vessel, improving blood flow. This procedure often includes the placement of a stent to keep the artery open.

TAVI is an advanced, minimally invasive method for replacing a stenotic aortic valve that fails to open properly. This innovative procedure involves inserting a replacement valve through a catheter, providing an option for patients considered ineligible for traditional open-heart surgery, significantly improving quality of life. 

Pacemakers are small devices implanted in the chest to help regulate heartbeats. For patients with arrhythmias, a pacemaker restores normal rhythm by sending electrical impulses to the heart. The implantation process is minimally invasive, and the device significantly improves daily living by correcting heart rate irregularities. 

This field deals with the electrical aspects of the heart and involves diagnosing and treating conditions related to irregular heart rhythms. Procedures like ablations can correct arrhythmias, improving heart function. Advanced electrophysiology studies help in crafting precise treatment plans based on individual electrical conduction patterns of the heart.

Mitraclip is a groundbreaking therapy for patients with severe mitral valve regurgitation who cannot undergo surgery. Through a minimally invasive procedure, a clip is attached to the valve, allowing it to close more completely, reducing regurgitation and improving symptoms, ultimately enhancing heart efficiency. 

The Impella heart pump is a tiny, yet powerful, device providing temporary support to heart function during high-risk cardiac interventions. By actively unloading the heart, it maintains systemic circulation and offers significant support during complex procedures, ensuring patient safety and reducing cardiac workload. 

IVUS is a cutting-edge imaging technology that uses a tiny ultrasound probe to visualise the inside of blood vessels in real-time. It provides detailed images of the artery walls, helping physicians to precisely assess and plan treatments for coronary artery disease, ensuring a higher degree of accuracy in interventions. 

Intravascular Lithotripsy is utilised to treat calcified coronary lesions. This technology delivers sonic pressure waves to break up hardened blockages safely. By softening the calcified deposits, IVL facilitates smoother stent deployment, enhancing the outcomes of coronary interventions with a reduced risk of complications. 

POBA involves the insertion of a special balloon into the artery to manually widen it and restore adequate blood flow. Though sometimes considered a preliminary intervention, it plays a significant role in certain scenarios where stenting is not immediately required, serving as a vital component of comprehensive cardiac care. 

Thrombosuction is a procedure to remove blood clots from arteries, improving blood flow to the affected area. By using specialised catheters, our team can extract the clot, offering a decisive treatment option for managing acute coronary syndromes, and preventing potential complications such as heart attacks or strokes. 

For patients with calcified arteries, advanced techniques like ROTA, Orbital Atherectomy, Laser, and Intravascular Lithotripsy are employed. These methods assist in ablating or breaking down calcified plaques to clear arteries, efficiently managing blockages that are resistant to traditional balloon angioplasty or stenting. 

Specialised interventional techniques are utilised to treat bifurcation lesions, where blockages occur at a branch point in the coronary arteries. Our skilled team deploys advanced stent strategies and plaque modification techniques to ensure optimal blood flow restoration, handling complex cases with precision and care. 

Renal denervation is an innovative procedure targeting nerves in the renal arteries to manage resistant hypertension. By modifying these nerve signals, it significantly reduces blood pressure, offering a promising solution for patients who do not respond adequately to medical therapy, enhancing long-term cardiovascular health. 

and congenital heart defects using advanced cardiac catheterisation. Our expertise includes defect closures for issues such as Bicuspid Aortic Valve, Percutaneous Transvenous Mitral Commissurotomy, Atrial Septal Defect, and Ventricular Septal Defect. Septal Ablation is also provided for treating Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy.

Focuses on diagnosing and treating electrical activities in the heart that cause arrhythmias. We utilise advanced technology to identify irregular rhythms and provide treatment options such as radiofrequency ablation to eliminate abnormal electrical pathways, restoring normal heart rhythm and reducing symptom burden. 

Used to treat certain types of arrhythmias by destroying small areas of heart tissue that cause irregular heartbeats. Utilising high-frequency energy, this minimally invasive technique restores normal rhythm, offering a long-term solution for conditions like atrial fibrillation, enhancing patient well-being. 

Caters to the unique cardiovascular needs of children. Our comprehensive services include diagnosing congenital heart issues, tailored treatments, and ongoing management of pediatric cardiac conditions. We work closely with families to ensure that our young patients receive compassionate care and achieve the best possible heart health outcomes. 

Our department harnesses AI technology to enhance diagnostic accuracy and speed. By integrating AI algorithms in imaging analysis, we provide rapid and precise diagnosis, facilitating efficient treatment plans tailored to individual needs, improving patient outcomes through early detection and intervention of cardiac conditions

Robotic-assisted surgeries represent a significant advance in precision and recovery. These minimally invasive procedures reduce pain, scarring, and recovery time by allowing surgeons to perform intricate movements with exceptional control, enhancing surgical outcomes in complex cardiac operations and leading to quick patient recovery.

We offer a suite of advanced cardiac interventions, including Rotablation, FFR, TAVI, TEVAR, Mitra Clip, and Impella. These state-of-the-art techniques ensure minimal invasiveness and maximum precision, addressing a wide array of cardiac conditions and providing alternatives to traditional surgery, improving patient care and outcomes.

LVADs are mechanical pumps that support heart function and blood flow in patients with weakened hearts. For those awaiting heart transplants or as a permanent solution in some cases, LVADs significantly enhance the quality of life and functional capacity by providing critical circulatory support, reducing heart failure symptoms.
