Interventional Cardiology in Bareilly

Minimally invasive, catheter-based procedures to diagnose and treat blocked heart arteries — restoring blood flow without open-heart surgery.

Coronary Angiogram

A dye-based X-ray test that shows exactly where and how severely the heart's arteries are narrowed — the gold-standard for diagnosing coronary artery disease and planning the right treatment.

When you might need it
  • Chest pain, tightness or pressure on exertion
  • An abnormal ECG, TMT or echo report
  • Breathlessness or falling exercise capacity
  • Planning for angioplasty or bypass surgery
  • Pinpoint diagnosis
  • Day-care procedure
  • Guides treatment
Coronary angioplasty with stent illustration

Coronary Angioplasty (PCI)

A minimally invasive, keyhole procedure that reopens a blocked or narrowed artery with a balloon and stent — restoring blood flow to the heart, often through a tiny wrist puncture and without open surgery.

When you might need it
  • A significant blockage found on angiogram
  • Angina that continues despite medicines
  • During or soon after a heart attack
  • Weak heart function from poor blood supply
  • No open surgery
  • Quick recovery
  • Fast relief
Intravascular imaging IVUS and OCT illustration

Coronary Imaging — IVUS & OCT

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) see inside the artery wall from within — measuring the true size of a blockage and guiding stent placement with millimetre precision for safer, longer-lasting results.

When you might need it
  • Complex or borderline blockages
  • Precise sizing and positioning of a stent
  • Checking how a previous stent has healed
  • Unclear findings on a standard angiogram
  • See inside the artery
  • Optimised stenting
  • Fewer complications

💎 Advanced Calcium Modification

When a coronary blockage is hardened by heavy calcium, an ordinary balloon may not be enough. These advanced tools prepare the calcified artery so a stent can open fully and last.

Rotablation (Rotational Atherectomy)

For arteries hardened by heavy calcium, a tiny diamond-tipped burr spins at very high speed to gently sand away the rock-hard plaque — opening the vessel so a balloon and stent can do their job.

When you might need it
  • Severely calcified coronary blockages
  • A blockage a balloon cannot cross or expand
  • Preparing a hard lesion before a stent
  • Complex coronary artery disease
  • Tackles hard calcium
  • Enables stenting
  • Minimally invasive
Orbital atherectomy illustration

Orbital Atherectomy

A diamond-coated crown spins and orbits inside the artery, smoothing away calcified plaque from the vessel wall — reshaping the artery so a stent can open fully and last longer.

When you might need it
  • Heavily calcified narrowings
  • Stiff lesions that resist a balloon
  • Optimising the vessel before a stent
  • Both large and small calcified segments
  • Modifies calcium
  • Better stent expansion
  • Precise
Intravascular lithotripsy (shockwave) illustration

Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL / Shockwave)

Borrowing the technology used to break kidney stones, a special balloon delivers gentle sonic pressure waves that crack tough calcium inside the artery wall — without harming the soft tissue — so the vessel can expand and hold a stent.

When you might need it
  • Deep, calcified plaque within the artery wall
  • Calcium that limits stent expansion
  • A gentler option for delicate vessels
  • Complex, calcified coronary disease
  • Cracks calcium safely
  • Protects soft tissue
  • Fuller stent expansion
