Interventional Cardiology, which in its beginnings was only a diagnostic tool for surgery, in a short time gained notorious importance in the treatment of various diseases - of the heart and other organs - in a minimally invasive way, that is, through minimal puncture in a blood vessel, usually in the wrist, with a brief hospital stay and a faster recovery.
The Favaloro Foundation has been a pioneer in this area since the return of Dr. René G. Favaloro to Argentina and has been an important participant in that transition. At present, the large number and variety of procedures performed daily, position it as a cutting-edge center in catheterization interventions. It is also an international benchmark for training specialists in the area.
When a person attends a consultation at our institution, a team made up of clinical cardiologists, interventional cardiologists, and cardiovascular surgeons gives their opinion on the best strategy for that particular case among the range of treatment options. The evaluation always takes into account the opinion of the patient himself and his family doctor.
 STAFF OF SPECIALISTS
The group of interventionists at the Favaloro Foundation are clinical cardiologists and interventional cardiologists. With vast experience in diagnosis and therapy, they offer the full range of current interventional cardiology procedures. The high volume of practices carried out at the Favaloro Foundation (more than 5000 catheterizations per year) allows to maintain a level of training in accordance with the recommended standards, which added to the wide availability of resources allows to solve any emergency, including medical and technical .
The Department of Interventional Cardiology has a permanent guard of professionals to carry out emergency procedures 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Patients who have performed a diagnostic study in another center can obtain an opinion with one of the doctors by requesting a consultation through the Central Shift Center.
 EQUIPMENT
The University Hospital of the Favaloro Foundation has four angiography rooms equipped with the latest technology. This is the only service in the country and one of the few in Latin America to have that number of rooms available, which not only allows the care of a greater number of patients - making it the center with the greatest experience - but also availability almost immediate from an emergency room, for example, in patients with acute myocardial infarction. It also makes it possible to control the equipment in one room while the others are in operation, without interrupting the activities of the sector.
 INFRASTRUCTURE
The Interventional Cardiology service was designed with the agility of patient transfer in mind. Its infrastructure allows immediate entry to the hemodynamic room in an emergency, such as the referral to surgery of any patient who cannot be operated on by the service, which avoids the loss of time in the transfer, or allows the performance of procedures combined (endovascular and surgical), with the work of both teams together in a room set as a hybrid.Interventional Cardiology, which in its beginnings was only a diagnostic tool for surgery, in a short time gained notorious importance in the treatment of various diseases - of the heart and other organs - in a minimally invasive way, that is, through minimal puncture in a blood vessel, usually in the wrist, with a brief hospital stay and a faster recovery.
