Treatments

Angioplasty

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) - often abbreviated to angioplasty - is a procedure to re-open a narrowed heart artery by inflating a tiny balloon in the narrowed segments.

Aortic aneurysm repair

An aneurysm is a thickening or bulge in the wall of an artery. In some cases surgical repair of the aorta may be necessary if an aneurysm is present.

Aortic Root Repair

The aorta is the largest artery in your body.

An aneurysm is a thickening or bulge in the wall of an artery. If you have been diagnosed with an aneurysm your consultant may recommend an aortic stent graft (also known as endovascular aneurysm repair or EVAR).

Aortofemoral bypass

An aortofemoral bypass is a procedure to insert artificial tubes (grafts) above blocked iliac arteries and connect the ends of the graft to your femoral arteries.

Assessment of all Aspects of Cardiology

Cardiac catheterisation (coronary angiogram)

Cardiac catheterisation involves inserting a very thin tube into the right side of your heart.

Cardiac clinical pharmacology

Cardiac clinical pharmacology involves the prescribing and monitoring of drugs used to treat a variety of cardiac conditions.

Cardiac rehabilitation

Following a heart attack or after some surgical procedures your consultant may recommend cardiac rehabilitation.

Cardioversion

Cardioversion is procedure that can be used to correct an irregular heartbeat.

Carotid endarterectomy

Sometimes plaque begins to build up on the walls of the arteries supplying blood and oxygen to the head and neck.

Carotid surgery

Coronary Angioplasty (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention or PCI)

Coronary angioplasty (or PCI) is a procedure to re-open a narrowed heart artery by inflating a tiny balloon in the narrowed segments.

Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG)

If conservative methods to treat your angina are not successful your consultant may recommend coronary artery bypass graft.

Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR)

If you have been diagnosed with an aneurysm your consultant may recommend an endovascular aneurysm repair or EVAR.

Implantable cardioverter defibrillator and cardiac resynchronisation therapy

If you have had heart failure in the past or if you are at risk of heart failure your surgeon may recommend an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and cardiac resynchronisation therapy.
