Invasive Cardiology
Invasive cardiology uses open or minimally-invasive surgery to identify and treat structural or electrical abnormalities within the heart structure.
Common types of invasive cardiology:
- Angioplasty: When plaque clogs your arteries, it becomes difficult for blood to flow normally. During angioplasty, a cardiologist inserts a tiny balloon into your clogged vein and pushes plaque against the walls, allowing for increased blood flow.
- Stenting: Stenting is usually done in conjunction with angioplasty. A cardiac stent is a small metal coil which permanently holds a clogged vein open.
