When there’s a problem with your heart, we may use interventional cardiology to treat it. Interventional cardiology is a nonsurgical method that uses catheter-based technology to treat heart and vascular problems.
Interventional cardiology is less invasive than other treatment options like open-heart surgery. That means there’s less risk involved and, oftentimes, a shorter recovery. In some cases, interventional cardiology procedures don't even require an overnight stay in the hospital.
