It includes the Clinical Cardiology and Cardiac Imaging and Interventional Cardiology Units and represents excellence in all areas of clinical and interventional cardiology, offering its patients the support of nationally and internationally recognized professionals and state-of-the-art equipment to provide a full range of clinical care, diagnostic and interventional procedures.
At the hospital, patients have at their disposal 4 state-of-the-art interventional cardiology rooms equipped with the most sophisticated machinery for intravascular imaging (IVUS, OCT) and study of coronary physiology, of which the cardiologists involved are recognized experts and co-authors of major clinical trials.
Regarding interventions, in addition to offering treatment of more complex coronary artery disease conditions (common trunk disease, chronic total occlusions, lesions of major bifurcations), the team offers decades of experience on all percutaneous and minimally invasive techniques for interventional treatment of valve and congenital diseases (TAVI, MitraClip, foramen ovale pervio, interatrial septal defect, paravalvular leakage post prosthetic valve implantation) thanks also to the use of the state-of-the-art and proven devices.
