In the last three decades, advances in technology has revolutionized the treatment of diseases of the heart and blood vessels.

In the following pages, you will find information about the various Interventional methods which are available to treat diseases of the heart, the peripheral arteries and the veins.

Nowadays, it is possible to treat many of these diseases without the need for surgery, using a technique using small plastic tubes, balloons and stents. This technique is called Interventional Treatment, and is now the most popular method of treatment of cardiovascular conditions. In most cases, there is no need for anesthesia, and no stitches or scars. Patients are usually hospitalized for a day or two only, and can return to work almost immediately.

Dr Shoaib F. Padaria is an expert in Interventional techniques in treatment of these conditions, and has been practicing these since the last 16 years in Mumbai.
