Heart, Coronary angiography (Selective)

Coronary angiography is an invasive procedure where a fine tube is inserted to the heart artery and contrast administered to visualise disease. It is now commonly used with adjunct equipment to measure the blood flow across a narrowing as well as imaging if necessary.

The National University Heart Centre, Singapore is a regional pioneer in better characterizing lesions to guide the best treatment for the patient, and this may include not performing coronary angioplasty or stenting.

Heart, Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) + stenting (1 vessel) -Complex (defined as > 1 hr), with/without IVUS/FFR

Coronary angioplasty refers to a range of invasive procedures which may be just balloon angioplasty to complex multi-vessel coronary artery stenting performed with heart support to relieve blockages in the heart arteries.

In line with contemporary practice, this may involve the use of additional devices that objectively measures blood flow or provide intravascular imaging to optimize the angioplasty result and provide for a good long term outcome.

National University Heart Centre, Singapore also engages with the cardiothoracic surgeons to discuss complex patients to decide who may benefit from open heart procedures, or a hybrid procedure.
