Interventional and Structural Cardiology Approach
Interventional cardiology uses catheters and imaging to diagnose or treat selected cardiovascular conditions without traditional open-heart surgery.
Dr. Mehta’s practice includes coronary angioplasty and stenting for narrowed coronary arteries. He also has extensive experience with structural-heart procedures such as TAVR, which can replace a severely diseased aortic valve through a catheter-based approach in appropriately selected patients.
Treatment selection depends on the patient’s heart anatomy, symptoms, valve or artery disease, age, medical history, and overall procedural risk. Some people may benefit from medication, while others require interventional treatment or referral to a cardiothoracic surgeon for open surgery.
This distinction is important because Dr. Mehta’s verified specialty is catheter-based cardiology rather than cardiac surgery.
