• Radio frequency Ablations to treat palpitations
• Coronory Angioplasty
• Coronary Artery Bypass
• Cardiac Procedures for valve diseases
• Paediatric Cardiology

• Catheter Ablation – This procedure uses radio wave or freezing to silence an abnormal area ion the heart’s electrical system, which is usually found during an electro-physiology study.
• Permanent Pacemaker – A permanent pacemaker is inserted into patient’s heart and upper chest to provide a reliable heartbeat when the heart’s own rhythm is too fast, too slow or irregular. A permanent pacemaker is inserted when the patient is in the electro-physiology lab.
• Internal Cardio-verter Defibrillator – A defibrillator is inserted into the patient’s heart and chest to send out a small, controlled electrical pulse when needed to jolt heart rhythm back to normal.

Coronory Angioplasty
With this procedure, catheter is used to create a bigger opening in the vessel to increase blood flow. Although angioplasty is performed in other blood vessels, percutaneous

• Transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) refers to angioplasty in the coronary artery to permit  more blood flow into the heart. Ther are several types of PTCA procedures, including the following:
  
  1. Balloon  Angioplasty – A small balloon is inflated inside the blocked artery to open the blocked area.
  2. Atherectomy – The blocked area inside the artery is “shaved” awayby a tiny device on the end of a catheter
  3. Laser Angioplasty – A laser is used to “vaporize” the blockage in the artery
  4. Coronary Artery Stent – A tiny coil is expanded inside the blocked artery to open the blocked area and is left inside to keep the artery open
