Interventional Cardiology Procedure Portfolio

A structured overview of coronary, structural heart, electrophysiology, cardiac device and endovascular procedures that may be considered after individual clinical assessment.

Overview

The procedures below are planned according to the patient’s clinical condition, established indication, expected benefit and risk, the technical capabilities of the relevant hospital and, when appropriate, multidisciplinary assessment.

How suitability is assessed

Symptoms, medical history, physical examination and available test results are reviewed first. Additional ECG, echocardiography, rhythm monitoring, coronary imaging or other tests may be requested when clinically indicated. The procedure, alternatives, expected benefit and relevant risks are then discussed with the patient.

Where procedures are performed

Consultation and follow-up take place at the private practice. Invasive procedures are scheduled at hospitals with the necessary authorisation, equipment and clinical support. The hospital and treatment plan are finalised according to medical suitability and institutional conditions.

Emergency: Call emergency services for sudden severe chest pain, major shortness of breath, fainting or signs of stroke. Do not wait for an online response.
