All our innovative cardiology procedures are carried out successfully by the interventional cardiology specialists of the Interventional Cardiology Unit at Anadolu Medical Center.
Our unit exceeds world standards for balloon valvuloplasty times and for the success rate of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty / stent placement procedures carried out 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in acute myocardial infarction and coronary syndromes.
The Interventional Cardiology Unit at Anadolu Medical Center aims in particular for patients to recover quickly after coronary angiography and stent placement, and therefore to return quickly to their daily activities and work. It is precisely for this reason that all angiographies and coronary stent placements are carried out via the radial route (at the wrist).
Services offered by the interventional cardiology unit
- Cardiac catheterisation and diagnostic angiography
- Coronary angioplasty and stenting
- Directional / rotational atherectomy
- Measurement of coronary fractional flow reserve and pressure
- Intravascular echocardiography
- Percutaneous balloon mitral surgery
