We are one of the leading centers of India to provide comprehensive range of Interventional Cardiology procedures for diagnostics and treatments, including Angiography, Angioplasty and Coronary Stenting with Drug Eluting Stents. Our team of cardiologists and staff have pioneered many new techniques, and KRISHNA is today renowned around the world for its leadership position in the field of Interventional Cardiology.
Interventional Cardiology consists of advanced techniques and technologies for diagnosing and treating the problems of the heart. Blockages can develop in the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle, which is the root cause of Cardiac problems. Through a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure called Angiography, such blockages and their magnitudes are assessed. To remove the cardiac blockages interventional procedures of Angioplasty or Stenting are performed. These procedures are minimally invasive, and shorten the recovery time and discomfort to the cardiac patients. Some patients, who are not candidates for minimally invasive procedures require a Coronary Bypass Artery Graft surgery (CABG or “open heart surgery”) – please refer to the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department for more information on this topic.

New Techniques: Our cardiologists are some of the pioneers in new techniques, such as Trans-radial Cardiac Catheterization. This technique reduces the time and discomfort for the patient undergoing the minimally invasive heart procedures. Our cardiologists are supported by a highly skilled team of professionals, including nurses, technicians and engineers. Our innovations and high standards have led to a success rate that is better than most hospitals around the world. |

Dedicated Intensive Care Unit: Our cardiology department is supported by a dedicated 20 bed Post-Angiography Intensive Care Unit to provide the highest level of support and speedy recovery of our patients. |
|
Extensive Experience: We have completed over 12,000 invasive procedures, including over 3000 Angioplasties. |
