Angiography

Angiography stands at the forefront of modern medical diagnostics and therapeutic interventions, providing physicians with a powerful tool to both diagnose and treat a spectrum of medical conditions. This minimally invasive procedure employs three cutting-edge imaging technologies, each playing a pivotal role in unraveling the intricacies of the human vascular system. In the pursuit of comprehensive insights, angiography often incorporates X-rays with catheters, a technique enabling real-time visualization of blood vessels Read More

Angioplasty

The correlation between primary angioplasty and multi-vessel lesions represents a nuanced aspect within cardiovascular interventions, subject to scrutiny in numerous studies and meta-analyses. As researchers delve into this intricate realm, the findings resonate with earlier studies, emphasizing that patients harboring multiple narrowed arteries often experience more favorable outcomes with Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG).

PACEMAKER IMPLANT

The Normal, Healthy Heart Has Its Own Pacemaker That Regulates The Rate At Which The Heart Beats. However, Some Hearts Don’t Beat Regularly. And A Pacemaker Device Can Correct The Problem. A Pacemaker Is A Small Device That Sends Electrical Impulses To The Heart Muscle To Maintain A Suitable Heart Rate And Rhythm. It Is Implanted Just Under The Skin Of The Chest During Minor Surgery. The Pacemaker Has Two Parts: Read More

Balloon Valvotomy

Embarking on cutting-edge cardiac care, Balloon Valvotomy offers a minimally invasive solution for Mitral Valve Stenosis. Utilizing a thin catheter inserted through the groin or arm artery, the procedure employs a balloon device at its tip. Swift inflation of the balloon strategically separates and stretches the narrowed or fused mitral valve leaflets, enlarging the valve opening and enhancing blood flow from the left atrium Read More
