An interventional cardiologist treats heart conditions through catheter-guided procedures, without open surgery. See one when your cardiologist finds an arterial blockage or another issue treatable this way.
Referred by your cardiologist for a catheter-based procedure? Message us on WhatsApp to schedule your evaluation.
An interventional cardiologist is a cardiologist with additional training in minimally invasive procedures, guided by catheters inserted through a blood vessel, usually in the wrist or groin.
They perform procedures such as cardiac catheterization, stent placement, and, at Hospital CMQ, TAVI for aortic valve disease.
You'll usually see this specialist on referral from your cardiologist, with prior tests such as an EKG, echocardiogram, or angiogram.
The specialist reviews those results with you and explains whether your case is a candidate for a catheter-based procedure, what it involves, and its risks and benefits.
If you're traveling for care, bring copies of your prior imaging and test results — our team can also help you send them ahead over WhatsApp.

It's a small mesh tube placed inside a blocked artery to keep it open and restore blood flow.
It varies by procedure, but many patients recover in days, not weeks. Your doctor will give you specific instructions.
