The cardiologists have performed over 15000 angiographies and nearly 3000 coronary angioplasties since the establishment of the department in January ’96. Non-coronary intervention deals with variety of cardiovascular abnormalities. Subclavean, iliac, femoral and carotid artery balloon angioplasty and stenting are being performed. Vascular dissection and aneurysm repair are also conducted with covered stents.

Risks of Interventional cardiology include the following : –

• Heart Attack : – In rare cases, a patient may have a heart attack during angioplasty.

• Stroke : – Blood clots may form on catheters and break loose during the procedure or catheter movement through the aorta may free plaque in the heart. If these particles reach the brain, stroke can occur. Patients are given blood thinners before angioplasty to help prevent stroke.

• Coronary Artery damage : – Arteries can be torn or ruptured during angioplasty. If this occurs, emergency bypass surgery is performed.

• Kidney Damage : – Dyes used in angioplasty can damage the kidneys.

• Heart Rhythm Problems : – Angioplasty can disturb the heart so that it beats more quickly or more slowly than usual. This often resolves on its own, but patients may need medication or a temporary pacemaker to regulate the heartbeat.

Benefits of Interventional Procedures in India :-

Interventional cardiology procedures are generally less invasive than traditional surgery. In most cases, these procedures require only one small incision for insertion of the catheter. Most interventional cardiology patients do not require general anesthesia and some procedures can take as few as 30 minutes to perform.

In many cases, patients are hospitalized for only one night following interventional cardiology procedures, instead of the longer hospital stay required by other types of surgery. Recovery time often is shorter as well and symptoms, such as shortness of breath and chest pain, are usually relieved quickly and effectively.

Some heart attack patients benefit substantially from angioplasty. Opening an artery and restoring blood flow quickly is one step toward preventing heart damage. Balloon valvuloplasty is often the best option for infants and children with congenital heart defects
