Interventional Cardiology

Interventional Cardiology Procedures

Interventional cardiology, a subspecialty of cardiology, uses catheters and intravenous access to treat certain heart conditions, including valve disease, heart failure, heart defects, and coronary artery disease. The procedures are minimally invasive and can be performed while the heart is still pumping; instead of stopping it and using a heart-lung machine to bypass its function.
