Area of Expertise

Coronary Angiography and Diagnostic Procedures

Patients requiring cardiac evaluation for coronary artery disease and vascular conditions are assessed using catheter-based diagnostic procedures via radial and femoral access:

• Coronary angiography via radial and femoral access
• Graft, renal, and peripheral angiography
• Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) assessment for functional lesion evaluation

Complex Coronary Angioplasty

Patients with complex coronary artery disease including left main, bifurcation, chronic total occlusion, and heavily calcified lesions are managed with advanced interventional techniques:

• Complex coronary angioplasty including left main, bifurcation, and CTO lesions
• Primary and rescue angioplasty for heart attack
• Rotablation, orbital atherectomy, and intravascular lithotripsy for calcified lesions

Imaging-Guided Interventions

Patients undergoing coronary interventions are managed with intravascular imaging and physiological assessment to optimise procedural outcomes:

• IVUS-guided angioplasty
• OCT-guided angioplasty
• FFR-guided angioplasty

Structural Heart Procedures

Patients with valvular and structural heart conditions are managed with catheter-based structural interventions:

• Balloon mitral valvuloplasty for mitral stenosis
• Left atrial appendage closure
• Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)

Cardiac Device Implantation

Patients requiring pacemakers, defibrillators, and cardiac resynchronisation therapy are managed with single and dual chamber device implantation and conduction system pacing:

• Single and dual chamber permanent pacemaker implantation
• Automated Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (AICD) implantation
• Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy with or without defibrillator (CRT-P/D) and conduction system pacing

Emergency Cardiac Interventions

Patients presenting with acute cardiac emergencies are managed with timely procedural interventions in critical care settings:

• Emergency pericardiocentesis
• Temporary pacemaker insertion
• Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) support
