Interventional Cardiology refers to diagnostics and non-surgical treatments of the heart. Cardiac interventions are used to diagnosis and treat coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease and congenital heart disease.
 
Stanford Interventional Cardiology is a world leader in percutaneous coronary revascularization, which re-establishes blood flow to the heart when its vessels have been damaged or blocked.
 
We perform approximately 1,000 interventions per year and offer the latest breakthroughs in the treatment of coronary artery disease and valvular heart disease.

In addition, the Stanford Heart Center offers state-of-the-art cardiac catheterization using low-radiation, high-resolution digital equipment that maximizes both patient safety and image quality.
 
Stanford's three cath labs perform more than 4,000 procedures annually, roughly half on an outpatient basis. Our fourth and fifth laboratories are dedicated to cardiac electrophysiology.
