What your heart looks like on his screen.
What he treats
He treats the heart from the inside, through a thin tube called a catheter, guided by an X-ray image like this one.
Blocked heart arteries
- Complex coronary angioplasty
- Opening difficult blockages with balloons and stents.
- Primary angioplasty
- Emergency angioplasty during a heart attack.
- CTO
- Chronic total occlusion: an artery that has been fully blocked for months.
- Rota-ablation
- A fine burr that clears hard, calcified blockages.
Rhythm and pumping devices
- Pacemaker
- For a heartbeat that is too slow.
- CRT
- Cardiac resynchronisation therapy, for a weak heart that beats out of step.
- ICD
- An implanted defibrillator that guards against dangerous rhythms.
Holes and valves
- ASD, VSD and PDA closure
- Closing a hole or an open channel in the heart with a device, through a catheter.
- Mitral balloon valvulotomy (BMV)
- Opening a narrowed mitral valve with a balloon.
- Pulmonary balloon valvulotomy (PBV)
- The same for a narrowed pulmonary valve.
Beyond the heart
- Peripheral intervention
- Narrowed arteries of the legs and limbs.
- Renal intervention
- Narrowed arteries of the kidneys.
- Syncope
- Finding the cause of fainting, including the head-up tilt test, and managing reflex syncope.
The ring marks a narrowing in the artery labelled LAD. Here is how one is opened.
What an angioplasty does
A fine wire is steered across the narrowing.
A balloon opens it from inside. A stent, a small metal mesh, stays behind to hold it open.
The balloon and wire come out. Blood has room to move again.
A drawing of one common procedure. Every blockage is different, and he will explain yours in the clinic.
