The Interventional Cardiology Centres at Apollo Heart Institutes has been at the forefront of the field since its inception. Coronary stenting is routine and performed by most of interventional cardiologists. Patients with high-risk and multi-vessel involvement are also treated.

Interventional cardiology is a non-surgical option that uses a catheter - a small, flexible tube - to repair damaged or weakened vessels, narrowed arteries, or other affected parts of the heart structure.

Common conditions treated by interventional cardiology:

  • Coronary artery disease: A narrowing of the arteries which supply the heart muscle with blood and oxygen.
  • Occurs when the valves which control blood flow into the heart's chambers are not working correctly.

Peripheral vascular disease:

Your heart can also be affected by clogged or hardened veins and arteries which are in other parts of your body.
