Invasive Cardiology
Keyhole Angioplasty
Keyhole Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that is performed to increase the flow of blood through a narrowed artery. This procedure involves keyhole surgery where a balloon is placed at the narrowing in the blood vessel. When the balloon is inflated, blood vessels should open and allow an adequate amount of blood through a narrowed artery. Keyhole Angioplasty is a procedure that is considered an alternative to bypass surgery as it takes 30 minutes and 2 hours for the procedure to be completed, and the patient can go home on the same day.
At Sakra, we have a team of the best cardiologist in Bangalore who will perform the advanced diagnostic test that uses X-rays to take pictures of your blood vessels to determine where the blockages are. This procedure is known as Angiogram.
Interventional Cardiology
Interventional cardiology is a branch of cardiac science that deals with cardiac catheterization procedures to diagnose and treat structural heart disease. Other heart diseases include coronary artery disease, valvular disease, and peripheral vascular disease.
The department of cardiac science at Sakra has a team of the best Interventional cardiologists in Bangalore who are highly qualified and with expertise in the treatment of heart diseases.

IVUS
IVUS is an Intravascular ultrasound procedure that uses sound waves to produce an image of the coronary arteries and view their condition. It is also referred to as the intravascular echocardiography procedure which uses high-frequency sound waves to create moving pictures of your heart.
This procedure will show a detailed visualization of the artery wall and provide significant information about the amount of plaque developed and assess if the individual is at risk of a heart attack.
