Interventional cardiology refers to non-surgical procedures used in the  treatment of coronary artery and peripheral vascular disease and performed in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. Balloon angioplasty, atherectomy (surgical removal of arterial plaque), eximer laser, stent deployment and direct intervention for acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) are among the procedures performed by Emory interventional cardiologists.

Emory Heart & Vascular Center physicians are using innovative techniques and technology to find even more ways to successfully treat heart problems in the least invasive ways possible.
