What is Complex Coronary Interventions and Chronic Total occlusions ?

In some cases, atherosclerotic plaques in the coronary artery might be present with severe calcification (severely calcified plaque), causing balloon becomes more difficult to be deflated, resulting in unsuccessful PCI. Dr.Omran utilizes plenty of modern tools that significantly increase the chance of successful PCI treatment.

In addition, the term complex PCI is also applied to patients presenting with complex coronary lesions, such as extensive burden or total occlusion. These complex conditions potentially lower the success rates of PCI treatment. Due to the advancements in technology and advanced interventional technique, a non-surgical procedure to treat complex CAD has tremendously shown improved treatment outcomes with enhanced accuracy and safety. More importantly, other contributing factors to achieve the best possible outcome and minimize the chance of recurrence must be kept under control. These include taking medicines as instructed regularly, controlling all risk factors, staying active and fit as well as maintaining a healthy weight.

Dr.Omran also specializes in chronic total occlusion which arteries have been blocked for a long time. Symptomatic patients with lifestyle limiting angina will benefit from these procedures offered.

Complex Coronary Interventions and Chronic Total Occlusions

Percutaneous Mitral and Tricuspid Valve Repair/Replacement

This is a minimally invasive heart procedure aimed at treating the mitral or tricuspid valves, which control blood flow between the heart chambers. Problems like valve leakage (regurgitation) or narrowing (stenosis) can disrupt blood flow and strain the heart.

How it works:
  • A catheter (thin tube) is inserted through a vein in the leg and guided to the heart.
  • For mitral and tricuspid valves, different devices can either repair the valve or replace it entirely.
  • This avoids the need for open-heart surgery, reducing recovery time and risks.
When it’s needed:
  • In patients with severe valve regurgitation (backflow of blood) or stenosis (narrowing).
  • For those who are not candidates for traditional open-heart surgery.
Benefits:
  • Restores proper blood flow.
  • Reduces symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue.
  • Minimizes complications compared to traditional surgery.
