Interventional Cardiology
Interventional cardiology is a specialized branch of cardiology that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases using minimally invasive procedures. These procedures are typically performed using catheters (thin, flexible tubes) inserted into blood vessels through small incisions in the skin, rather than through open surgery.
Interventional cardiology offers several advantages over traditional open-heart surgery, including shorter recovery times, reduced risk of complications, and minimal scarring.
