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 stent grafts

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).

Carotid endarterectomy

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

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.

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.

Interventional cardiology

Interventional cardiology includes procedures performed on the heart using catheterisation (tiny, flexible tubes).

Mitral valve balloon dilation

During mitral valve balloon dilation a balloon is used to widen the valve opening.

Pacemakers

A pacemaker is a special device that treats an irregular or slow heart rhythm.

Peripheral nerve surgery

Unlike your central nervous system, your peripheral nervous system is not protected by bone leaving it exposed to injury or toxins (poisons).
