Percutaneous
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Under an e a guiding technique called fluoroscopy, the interventional cardiology passess / pushes a device mounted on an intra – luminal vascular wire to the identified area of vessel disease and performs a pre – determined curative technique usually to unblock a vessel blocked by a cholesterol plaque / thrombus i.e clot. Severe maneuvers can be performed this way, and include the following: –
Needle fibrinolysisDuring this manouever, a clot – breaking drug is directly injected at a clot obstructing the vessel so as to unblock the vessel. This is performed within thirty minutes of occurance of heart attack or myocardial infarction / heart attack.
The following techniques are performed at the hospital.
Cutting ballon angioplasty — is a device with three to four longitudinal atherotome blades that produce sharp, clean, longitudinal incisions, leaving the interincisional segments of the untreated segment intact.
Excimer Laser Angioplasty [ELCA] — The excimer laser produces monochromatic light energy to cause ablation / targeted burning of plaque by generating of heat and shock waves.
Imtracoronary stent Revascularization [ISR]: – In this technique, a small hollow metallic vessel in – dwelling tube is mounted on a catheter and placed inside a coronary / heart vessel in an identified specific position of obstruction so as to re – open or unblock the vessel. We offer both Bare Metal Stent {BMS} and Drug Eluting Stent [DES]

Cardiac Services

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
CRT is a method of treatment during which the electronic devices are placed in connection with the heart to:
Correct life-threatening abnormalities of heart rhythm / irregularities in heart beats
Improve the pace / speed with which a diseased slow heart beats
Manage very severe heart failure for which medical treatment has failed
In so doing, CRT improves functional measurements of heart failure i.e decreases New York Heart Association (NYHA), improves quality of life (QoL) scores and exercise tolerance. It also decreases re – hospital admissions and chances of death due to heart failure.
At KHHC, we offer ICD [Intra – Cardiac Device] – based CRT. In this method, pacemaker devices are place in connection with the heart and programmed to resynchronize / correct life – threatening rhythm problems and/or severe heart failure in dysynchrony.
Coronary Care Unit [CCU]
Our 4 bed CCU, provides cardiac intensive care life support services with around the clock close monitoring and case – by – case tailored interventions.
