Interventional cardiology

What is interventional cardiology?

Interventional cardiology is a modern subspecialization of cardiology that uses minimally invasive techniques to diagnose and treat cardiovascular diseases. At Elytis Hospital, this branch of medicine combines the expertise of cardiologists with state-of-the-art technology to provide patients with safe and effective treatments.
Interventional cardiology is the application of specialized procedures that allow the treatment of cardiovascular diseases without the need for traditional surgery. These procedures are performed through a percutaneous approach, using catheters and other dedicated instruments, thus minimizing the risk of complications and ensuring a rapid recovery.
