Interventional Services

Interventional cardiology is a specialized branch of cardiology that focuses on the catheter-based treatment of structural heart diseases. These minimally invasive procedures are designed to diagnose and treat heart conditions without the need for open-heart surgery. At Revere Health, our interventional cardiology services include advanced techniques such as angioplasty and stent placement, aimed at improving blood flow and heart function while reducing recovery times.

Common Interventional Cardiology Procedures
Angioplasty: Also known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), angioplasty involves using a balloon-tipped catheter to open narrowed or blocked coronary arteries, restoring blood flow to the heart.
Stent Placement: Often performed alongside angioplasty, a stent (a small wire mesh tube) is placed in the artery to keep it open and prevent future blockages.
Atherectomy: A procedure that uses a catheter with a sharp blade to remove plaque buildup from the arteries.
Valvuloplasty: A procedure to repair a narrowed heart valve by inflating a balloon to widen the valve and improve blood flow.
Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) Closure: A minimally invasive procedure to close a hole in the heart that did not close properly after birth, reducing the risk of stroke.

Benefits of Interventional Cardiology
Minimally Invasive: These procedures are performed using small incisions and catheters, leading to shorter recovery times and reduced risk of complications compared to open-heart surgery.
Faster Recovery: Most interventional cardiology patients can return home within a day or two and resume normal activities more quickly.
Effective Treatment: Interventional procedures like angioplasty and stent placement are highly effective in improving blood flow, reducing symptoms like chest pain, and preventing future heart attacks.
Reduced Risk of Stroke: For certain structural heart conditions, interventional procedures can significantly reduce the risk of stroke and other complications.
