Interventional Cardiology

Heart and vascular conditions often require specialized treatment and intervention. But that doesn’t always mean surgery. At North Kansas City Hospital, our skilled doctors have years of heart and vascular experience. You get the support you need with both surgical and nonsurgical interventional cardiology approaches. Both options treat and manage your condition in the best way possible.

What’s Interventional Cardiology?

Interventional cardiology is the nonsurgical treatment of heart conditions. You’ll find that NKCH offers various cardiac interventions to diagnose and treat many types of heart disease. Most nonsurgical procedures are catheter-based and use minimally invasive techniques whenever possible — often resulting in faster, easier recovery for you.

Benefits of Interventional Cardiology

If you receive interventional cardiology services, you may benefit from less scaring and pain. Hospital stays also tend to be shorter, so you get back to your regular routine faster.
