Cardiology

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is a critical procedure designed to address life-threatening coronary artery blockages. By rerouting blood around obstructed arteries using a graft, this procedure restores optimal blood flow to the heart. Our surgeons employ advanced techniques, including robotic assistance, ensuring precision and improving heart function and quality of life. We provide personalised post-surgical care, reducing recovery time and enabling quicker return to daily activities. 

Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA), commonly known as angioplasty, is a minimally invasive procedure used to open blocked coronary arteries. By using a balloon catheter, we compress plaque-induced blockages, restoring vital blood flow. At our facility, we incorporate advanced technologies such as drug-eluting stents, ensuring long-term artery patency and promoting heart health. The use of real-time imaging aids precise execution, enhancing procedural success rates. Angioplasty offers patients a quick recovery, enabling them to resume normal activities swiftly, supported by comprehensive post-procedural care and lifestyle guidance from our expert team. 

Aortic Valve Replacement (AVR) and Mitral Valve Replacement (MVR) are crucial procedures for patients with malfunctioning heart valves. By replacing these valves with mechanical or biological alternatives, we restore the heart's efficiency in regulating blood flow. Employing innovative techniques, such as minimally invasive surgery and catheter-based approaches, our cardiac specialists ensure precision in placement for optimal outcomes. Patients typically experience increased energy levels, reduced symptoms such as fatigue and breathlessness, and an improved quality of life. Our refined surgical craftsmanship and post-operative care ensure a smooth recovery and sustainable heart function improvements. 

Electrophysiology (EP) studies are essential diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for heart rhythm disorders. Using state-of-the-art technology, these tests evaluate the heart's electrical activity to identify arrhythmias and their origins. Our specialists use this information to recommend targeted treatments, such as catheter ablation or pacemaker placement. EP studies enhance diagnostic accuracy and contribute to more effective management of conditions like atrial fibrillation. By tailoring interventions to specific cardiac issues, we help patients achieve healthier, rhythm-consistent hearts.

Pacemaker implantation is a life-enhancing procedure for individuals with irregular heart rhythms or slow heart rates. Our experts use minimally invasive techniques to install a small, sophisticated device that regulates the heartbeat. This procedure improves cardiac function and enhances patient vitality. With telemetry capabilities, we ensure real-time monitoring, allowing for timely adjustments. Pacemaker implantation not only stabilises heart rhythms but also empowers patients to live more confidently and actively, enjoying a higher quality of life.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation/Replacement (TAVI/TAVR) is a breakthrough procedure for patients with severe aortic stenosis, particularly those who are unsuitable for open-heart surgery. This minimally invasive intervention involves inserting a new valve inside the damaged one via a catheter. TAVI/TAVR significantly improves symptoms such as chest pain and breathlessness, offering patients a quick recovery and enhanced cardiovascular quality of life. Our skilled interventional cardiologists employ advanced imaging techniques and device deployment strategies, ensuring precise outcomes and minimal discomfort. 

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS) represents a revolutionary shift in heart surgery, providing less invasive alternatives to traditional methods. By using smaller incisions, this approach reduces trauma, minimizes recovery time, and lowers the risk of infections. MICS is applicable for a range of heart conditions, including valve repairs and coronary artery bypass. Patients benefit from quicker recovery, less scarring, and faster rehabilitation, enabling them to resume normal activities more quickly. Our facility’s expertise in MICS reflects our commitment to offering the most advanced, patient-centred cardiac care, combining surgical precision with the latest technology to deliver superior outcomes and patient satisfaction.

Left Bundle Branch Pacing (LBBP) is an advanced pacemaker technique designed to maintain synchronized ventricular contractions, offering significant improvements over traditional pacemaker procedures. By placing a pacing lead directly on the left bundle branch, we optimise the heart's pumping function. Using precise imaging and cardiac mapping, our specialists ensure accurate lead placement for optimal electrical signal conduction. This technique provides patients with heart block or bradycardia a better alternative to conventional pacemaker installations, leading to more efficient heart rhythm management and a noticeable improvement in their quality of life. 

Mechanical Thrombectomy with Penumbra for Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is an innovative procedure aimed at rapidly restoring blood flow in patients with significant venous clots. Our specialists use advanced mechanical devices to precisely remove clot material, reducing vein damage and minimising the need for anticoagulation therapy. This technique significantly reduces the risk of complications like post-thrombotic syndrome, enabling quicker recovery and better limb functionality. Our commitment to using cutting-edge techniques underscores our dedication to superior, patient-centred vascular care, ensuring safety and efficiency in the management of DVT. 

Balloon Mitral Valvotomy (BMV) is an effective procedure for patients with mitral valve stenosis, a condition where the narrowed valve impedes blood flow. Using a specialized balloon catheter, we dilate the valve, improving blood passage and alleviating symptoms such as breathlessness and fatigue. Our cardiologists employ precision techniques to ensure minimal risks and significant benefits, offering a durable alternative to surgical valve replacement. With quicker recovery times and fewer complications, BMV provides long-term relief, improving heart health and patient quality of life. 

Alcohol Septal Ablation is a targeted procedure designed to alleviate symptoms of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy by reducing excessive septal thickening. Through the precise injection of alcohol into the affected arteries, we induce controlled shrinkage of the thickened heart tissue, allowing for improved blood flow and symptom relief. This procedure is particularly beneficial for patients experiencing chest pain and fainting spells. Our team ensures safe, effective outcomes with detailed imaging and real-time monitoring throughout the process.
