Invasive Investigation includes routine Angiography of Coronary, Carotid, Renal, and Peripheral vessels. The quality of Angiography is enhanced by the use Digital Subtraction Imaging [DSA]. His bundle ECG, electro Physiological Studies, Right Heart Catheter and Oxymetry are also performed routinely.
Invasive Therapeutic interventions like Angioplasty and for Stenting of Coronary, Peripheral and renal vessels are carried out. Rotablator is used for difficult lesions. Radio Frequency Ablation, Single chamber or Dual chamber Pacemaker implantation, Embolisation of splanchnic in cases of bleeding is also available.
