Whether you need an angiogram in the Philippines or are looking into angioplasty or other cardiac catheterization procedures, our team is here to guide you through every step of your care.
Coronary Angiogram
A Coronary Angiogram in the Philippines is one of the most important diagnostic procedures for detecting heart disease. This specialized Xray procedure uses contrast dye to make the arteries that supply blood to your heart, more visible. This helps detect any blockages or narrowing that affect blood flow.
Cerebral Angiogram
A Cerebral Angiogram is used to check the arteries and blood flow to your brain. This diagnostic imaging test uses dye to make them more visible under Xray. It helps detect aneurysms, blockages, narrowing, or other vascular issues affecting the brain.
Renal Angiogram
A Renal Angiogram is an Xray procedure focuses on the arteries that supply blood flow to your kidneys. By using contrast dye, it shows any narrowing or blockages that may affect your kidney function.
Peripheral Angiogram
A Peripheral Angiogram is an Xray procedure that uses dye to map out and show the blood vessels outside of the heart. This could include blood vessels in the arms or legs to detect any blockages or narrowing that affect blood circulation.
Coronary Angioplasty
Coronary Angioplasty in the Philippines is a proven, minimally invasive interventional procedure that directly treats blocked or narrowed arteries in your heart. Using a catheter, a tiny balloon is inflated to widen the artery, push buildup aside, and a stent is placed to keep it open.
Peripheral Angioplasty
Designed to improve blood circulation in your arms or legs, a Peripheral Angioplasty procedure uses a catheter to insert a tiny balloon into a blocked artery and expand it to open the blockage. A stent is then inserted to maintain the widened pathway and sustain blood flow.
Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE)
A Transarterial Chemoembolization is a minimally invasive procedure delivers cancer-fighting drugs and substances directly onto a tumor (usually in the liver) that block its blood supply to slow tumor growth.
Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage (PTBD)
A Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage is a procedure that involves inserting a catheter through your skin, to the liver, and into the bile duct to drain bile from a blocked bile duct.
Pacemaker Insertion
Pacemaker Insertion is a minor surgical procedure, this treatment implants a small device under your skin with wires leading to the heart. This device emits electric signals that help regulate slow or irregular heart rhythm.
Coiling
Coiling is often performed for aneurysms, this procedure inserts small platinum coils via catheter into an aneurysm to promote clotting and prevent rupture.

- Valvular Heart Disease: This occurs when one of the four heart valves are not opening or closing properly which affects blood flow through the heart.
- Aneurysms: An aneurysm forms when portion of a blood vessel wall is weakened and creates a bulge that may potentially rupture and cause internal bleeding.
