Angiography is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure used to visualize blood vessels and assess their condition. It involves the injection of a contrast dye into the bloodstream, allowing doctors to take detailed X-ray images of arteries and veins. Angiography helps detect blockages, narrowing, or abnormalities in the blood vessels, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as coronary artery disease, stroke, or peripheral artery disease. This procedure is essential for determining the best course of treatment, including angioplasty or surgery.

Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to restore blood flow in narrowed or blocked arteries. It involves the insertion of a small balloon-tipped catheter into the affected artery, which is then inflated to widen the artery and improve blood circulation. In many cases, a stent (a small mesh tube) is placed to keep the artery open. Angioplasty is commonly performed to treat coronary artery disease, reducing chest pain (angina) and the risk of heart attacks. This procedure allows for a quicker recovery compared to open-heart surgery and is an effective treatment for improving heart health.

Paediatric Cardiac Sciences is a specialized field focused on diagnosing and treating heart conditions in infants, children, and adolescents. This multidisciplinary approach encompasses a range of services, including non-invasive and invasive diagnostic tests, medical management, and surgical interventions for congenital and acquired heart diseases. Common conditions treated include congenital heart defects, arrhythmias, and cardiomyopathies. Our dedicated team of paediatric cardiologists and surgeons works closely with families to provide comprehensive care tailored to each child's unique needs, ensuring optimal health outcomes and support throughout their journey.

Cardiac minimal invasive surgery (CMIS) is a modern surgical approach that allows for heart procedures to be performed through small incisions rather than traditional large openings. This technique minimizes trauma to the body, resulting in reduced pain, shorter recovery times, and less scarring. CMIS can be used for various cardiac procedures, including valve repairs or replacements, coronary artery bypass grafting, and atrial septal defect closures. By utilizing advanced imaging and surgical technology, our skilled cardiac surgeons can provide effective treatment while prioritizing patient comfort and swift recovery, helping patients return to their daily lives more quickly.

Coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) is a surgical procedure used to treat severe coronary artery disease, where the arteries supplying blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked. During CABG, a surgeon takes a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body, such as the leg or chest, and uses it to create a bypass around the blocked coronary artery. This improves blood flow to the heart muscle, alleviating symptoms like chest pain (angina) and reducing the risk of heart attacks. CABG is typically recommended for patients with multiple blockages or significant heart disease, offering a proven solution for restoring heart health and enhancing quality of life.

A Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) is a mechanical pump designed to support heart function in patients with severe heart failure. It assists the left ventricle, the heart's main pumping chamber, in circulating blood throughout the body. LVADs can be used as a bridge to heart transplantation for patients awaiting a donor heart or as a long-term solution for those not eligible for transplant. The device is implanted surgically and works continuously, helping to improve symptoms, enhance quality of life, and increase exercise capacity. Patients with an LVAD require careful monitoring and follow-up care, but many experience significant improvements in their overall health and well-being.
