Invasive Interventional Cardiology Unit

The Invasive Interventional Cardiology Unit at Nanavati Max Super Speciality Hospital is a part of Heart Centre. We at the unit are always on the pathway to make heart care a risk-ridden course of treatment for our patients. We offer the best of technology along with the highly-trained and progressively responsible team of cardiologist, Cardiac surgeons, cardiovascular & thoracic surgeons, physicians, intensivists which are ready to offer you the peak of scientifically advanced treatment in the realm of Invasive Interventional Cardiology under our state-of-the-art equipped Heart Station.

Invasive Interventional cardiology refers to minimally invasive procedures that involve the use of thin, flexible catheters and imaging technology to treat arterial and vascular conditions without making long incisions, unlike traditional open surgery. These conditions including:

• Coronary Artery Disease
• Structural Heart Disease
• Vascular Heart Disease

Our team of experts focuses on offering a full range of both diagnostic and therapeutic interventional cardiology procedures to patients suffering from various heart-related issues.

Diagnostic Interventions

The various diagnostic procedures we offer at the unit include:

• Aortography
• Coronary Angiography
• Heart Catheterization to study Congenital Heart Defects
• Peripheral and Renal Angiography
• Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR)
• Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS)
• Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

Our diagnostic facilities are highly advanced and allow the patient to be comfortable with same-day discharge.

Therapeutic Interventions

The various therapeutic procedures we offer at the unit include:

• Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA)
• Rotablation
• Valvuloplasty
• Closure of Heart Defects
• Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP)
• Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI)

In addition to this, our unit also offers various other therapeutic interventions for various areas of the vascular tree, such as renal angioplasty, femoral angioplasty, iliac, carotid and vertebral angioplasty. In addition to this, we also offer Interventions on the aorta for congenital narrowing (coarctation), endovascular treatment of aneurysms of the aorta and aortic dissection.

We also have a 24x7 operational Cath lab to cater to any cardiac emergency, especially heart attacks. We ensure that each patient under our care has access to fast, effective, and safe treatment for blocked coronary arteries causing the heart attack, (termed as Primary PTCA) and other complicated cardiac issues.
