Cardiac Treatments & Procedures We Offer
Coronary Angiography (Diagnostic)
We use catheter-based imaging to map your coronary arteries and identify blockages. The procedure is done through a small puncture in your wrist (radial access), and most patients go home the same day. Cost starts from ₹20,000.
Coronary Angioplasty& Stenting (PTCA)
If blockages are found, we open them during the same sitting using drug-eluting stents. Our cath lab team handles single-vessel (SVD), double-vessel (DVD), and triple-vessel (TVD) disease. For complex calcified lesions, we also offer rotablation and intravascular lithotripsy (IVL).
FFR, IVUS & OCT-Guided Angioplasty
For borderline blockages, we use advanced imaging tools—Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR), Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS), and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)—to measure whether a blockage is truly restricting blood flow before deciding on stenting. This avoids unnecessary procedures and ensures precise stent placement.
Primary Angioplasty (Emergency Heart Attack Treatment)
For patients arriving with an active heart attack, our 24/7 cath lab team performs emergency angioplasty to restore blood flow to the heart muscle as quickly as possible—targeting under 90 minutes from door to balloon inflation.
Permanent Pacemaker Implantation
If your heart beats too slowly or irregularly, we implant a pacemaker device under the skin near your collarbone. We offer both single-chamber (from ₹91,000) and dual-chamber (from ₹1,03,000) pacemakers. The procedure typically takes under an hour, and most patients are discharged the next day.
ICD (Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator) Placement
For patients at risk of sudden cardiac arrest due to dangerous heart rhythms, we place an ICD that continuously monitors your heartbeat and delivers a corrective shock if needed. Both single-chamber and dual-chamber devices are available.
CRT-D & CRT-P (Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy)
For patients with heart failure and electrical conduction problems, we implant CRT devices that coordinate the beating of your heart’s chambers. CRT-P provides pacing only, while CRT-D adds defibrillator protection. Pricing starts from ₹1,46,000 for CRT-P and ₹1,58,000 for CRT-D.
Balloon Mitral Valvotomy (BMV / PTMC)
We treat narrowed mitral valves without open surgery—a catheter-guided balloon widens the valve opening, restoring normal blood flow. This is especially relevant in India where rheumatic mitral stenosis remains common. Procedure cost starts from ₹91,000.
Structural Heart Interventions (TAVI, MitraClip, Device Closures)
Dr Kuchulakanti leads our structural heart programme, which includes TAVI (transcatheter aortic valve implantation) for elderly patients unfit for open-heart surgery, MitraClip for mitral regurgitation, and percutaneous closure of ASD, VSD, and PDA defects using dedicated devices.
Peripheral Vascular Angioplasty
Blocked arteries in your legs causing pain while walking? We open these blockages using catheter-based techniques, helping restore circulation and prevent amputation. Also includes carotid angioplasty and stenting for stroke prevention.
RF Ablation for Arrhythmias
For abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) that do not respond to medication, we use radiofrequency energy delivered through a catheter to precisely eliminate the tissue causing the irregular electrical signals. We offer both simple arrhythmia ablation and advanced 3D mapping-guided VT ablation.
Electrophysiology (EP) Study
This diagnostic procedure maps the electrical pathways inside your heart to pinpoint the origin of abnormal rhythms. It is often done just before RF ablation so we can locate and treat the problem in a single sitting.
