6 SURGICAL INTERVENTIONS ü Coronary obstructions treatment including complex lesions of the coronary arteries: Angioplasty with Stent implantation in multi- vessel disease: when partially 2 or more arteries are clogged. Injuries or obstructions in Forks, that is, when a main vessel and the branch of that vessel are compromised. Total Occlusions: It is when a vessel is 100% clogged by cholesterol or fat. Ostial Lesions: Obstructions at the start of the vessel. Main Truncus: obstructions in the origin or in the bifurcation of the primary vessel of left system of the coronary arteries ü Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis who are not candidates for the surgery. Those patients who are referred have severe disease or severe obstruction of the aortic valve and the risk for valve replacement through surgery is high. This surgical intervention of TAVI is performed in the Hemodynamics room with the participation of a multidisciplinary team which includes three Interventional Cardiologists, two Cardiovascular Surgeons, an anesthesiologist, an echocardiographer expert in Transesophageal Echography, a Cardiopulmonary Technician, a Perfusionist Technician, Specialized Nurses in Hemodynamics and a Specialist Clinical Technician for the preparation of the valve. This procedure since being performed via transcatheter has a faster patient recovery and within 72 hours the patient may be released. ü Renal Artery denervation in patients with resistant systemic hypertension. ü Balloon angioplasty or stent implantation in iliac arteries, Femoral and distal lower limb injuries with critical obstructions. ü Amplatzer Implants in Patent Foramen Ovale and septal. ü Stent implantation in severe obstructive lesions of carotid arteries to symptomatic or asymptomatic patients with arterial anatomy susceptible to this procedure. ü Prosthetics Implant in endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm. ü Implante de Marcapasos, Resincronizadores y Cardio- Desfibrilador en conjunto con Cirujano Cardiovascular y/o Electrofisiólogo Implantation of Pacemaker, Cardiac- resynchronization and defibrillator together with Cardiovascular Surgeon and / or Electrophysiologist ü Vascular complications treatment at coronary level and of lower limbs on diabetic patients.
