Dr. Ziauddin Hospital

Angiography Department

THE Angiography Department

Best diagnostic and therapeutic angiography in Karachi for patients (adults and children) suffering from cardiac and non-cardiac vascular problems. Our Interventional cardiology and radiology services are available 24/7.
It is the only unit in Pakistan which provides the latest interventional procedures to patients with acute vascular problems, including Myocardial Infarction. In addition, there is an advanced electrophysiology service to diagnose complicated heart rhythm problems, defibrillators, and to manage the implant of pacemakers.

The unit provides the following services:

CARDIAC

1. Procedures used in Diagnosis:
  • Coronary Angiography: This procedure allows us to view the blood vessels of the heart.
  • 24-Hour Holter Monitoring: A portable ECG that records your heart’s activity throughout the day.
2. Procedures used for the treatment of heart-related issues:
  • Coronary Angioplasty: A procedure that opens blocked arteries in the heart.
  • Percutaneous Trans-septal Mitral Commissurotomy (PTMC): A procedure that widens a narrowed heart valve, thus improving heart function.
  • Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump: A device that helps the heart pump more effectively.
3. Device Placement and Care:
  • Pacemaker Implantation (Temporary and Permanent) which regulates your heartbeat.
  • Intra-Cardiac Defibrillator Implantation which manages irregular heart rhythms.
  • Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Device: This device improves heart function, especially for certain heart failure patients.
  • Pacemaker Programming: In this activity, adjustments are made to suit patients’ specific needs.

NON CARDIAC

1. Peripheral and Cerebral Vascular Procedures:
  • Digital subtraction angiography (DSA): It is a special scan that helps see vessels more clearly by highlighting them with a contrast dye.
  • Angioplasty with stenting: A treatment to open blocked blood vessels. A small balloon is used to widen the vessel, and a tiny tube (stent) is placed to keep it open.
  • Coiling as well as temporary and permanent embolization: These are methods to stop blood flow to a certain area. Coiling involves putting tiny coils in the vessel, while embolization uses materials to block it, often used to treat aneurysms or stop bleeding.
2. Implantation Procedures:
  • Perma-Cath Implantation which is a catheter placed for dialysis or medication administration.
  • PICC Line Implantation involves a catheter inserted in a vein for intravenous treatments.
  • Percutaneous Nephrostomy (PCN) which is a tube placed in the kidney to drain urine due to blockage.
