Interventional cardiology is a branch of cardiology that deals specifically with the catheter-based treatment of structural heart diseases. The main advantages of using this approach include the avoidance of scars and pain, and long post-operative recovery. An interventional cardiologist is a cardiologist with one to two years of additional education and training in diagnosing and treating cardiovascular disease, as well as congenital (present at birth) and structural heart conditions through catheter-based procedures, such as angioplasty and stenting.
