Interventional Cardiology & Structural Heart Disease

Interventional cardiology has advanced rapidly with minimally invasive techniques that offer safer, faster, and more effective treatments for coronary and structural heart conditions. Procedures such as TAVR, TMVR, PCI optimization, septal defect closures, left atrial appendage occlusion, and endovascular valve repair now serve patients who were once considered high-risk for surgery. Innovations including intravascular imaging, robotic-assisted interventions, and AI-guided navigation significantly enhance procedural accuracy. Drug-coated balloons, bioresorbable scaffolds, intravascular lithotripsy, and pressure-based lesion assessment tools improve outcomes for complex coronary disease. For structural heart disorders, advanced imaging integration supports tailored planning and reduces procedural complications. Real-time fusion imaging, 3D mapping, and anatomical modeling further refine therapeutic strategies. These advancements have improved survival rates, shortened recovery times, and expanded the range of treatable patients, particularly elderly individuals with multiple comorbidities. As next-generation devices and digital technologies continue to evolve, interventional cardiology remains central to redefining the future of cardiovascular therapy.
