   • Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI): Angioplasty, stenting, and atherectomy for coronary artery disease.
   • Structural Heart Interventions: Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), MitraClip, and Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)/Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) closure.

2. Advanced Diagnostics:

   • Imaging: Coronary angiography, Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS), Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR), and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT).
   • Cardiac Catheterization: Assessment of hemodynamics and coronary lesions.

3. Emergency Care:

   • ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI): Primary PCI for acute myocardial infarction.

4. Patient Management:

   • Pre- and post-procedure care, risk stratification, and multidisciplinary collaboration.

5. Research & Education:

   • Innovating and teaching advanced interventional techniques.

Focus: Restoring blood flow, repairing valves, and reducing the need for surgery, interventional cardiologists deliver high-precision cardiovascular care.
