Interventional Cardiology
Minimally invasive coronary procedures — angiography, stenting, and 24/7 heart attack care — performed by specialist interventional cardiologists without open-chest surgery.
About Department
Interventional Cardiology at PB Health is a dedicated, high-acuity service focused on catheter-based diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease. We use thin, flexible catheters — introduced through a small puncture in the wrist (radial artery) or, where necessary, the groin (femoral artery) — to access the coronary circulation without open-heart surgery.
Clinical Focus Areas
- Acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) – major heart attack
- Non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) – partial blockage heart attack
- Unstable angina – chest pain at rest
- Stable coronary artery disease with large blockages
- Post-heart attack residual blockage treatment
- In-stent restenosis (re-blockage of a previous stent)
- Calcified coronary arteries requiring atherectomy
What To Expect in Interventional Cardiology
For elective cases, arrive fasting (no solid food for 6 hours; clear fluids permitted up to 2 hours beforehand). An intravenous cannula is placed. You will meet your interventional cardiologist, who will review your imaging, explain what is planned, and take written, informed consent. Blood thinning medications (antiplatelet agents) are loaded before the procedure to reduce the risk of clot formation during stenting.

FAQs
You need a stent if you have a large blockage (>70%) causing chest pain, shortness of breath, or a heart attack. Your cardiologist will confirm with angiography.
