Hemodynamics

Hemodynamics Unit in Madrid | Coronary & Structural Interventional Cardiology

Medical Team led by Dr. Ángel José Sánchez Recalde

The Hemodynamics Unit at Hospital Blua Sanitas Valdebebas (Madrid) is staffed by a team of interventional cardiologists with extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of coronary disease and structural heart conditions.

We are equipped with the most advanced technology to perform highly complex procedures with safety and precision. In addition, we offer a 24/7 emergency service, 365 days a year, for the management of acute myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular emergencies.

Our portfolio of services covers the full spectrum of percutaneous diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for cardiovascular disease, including complex techniques recently introduced worldwide.

 

Coronary Procedures

  • Diagnostic and therapeutic catheterization

 

  • Coronary physiology and imaging

 

  • Treatment of complex lesions: chronic occlusions, bifurcations, and coronary calcifications

 

Structural Heart Procedures

  • Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI)

 

  • Mitral (MitraClip) and tricuspid (TriClip) repair

 

  • Percutaneous annuloplasty (CardioBand)

 

  • Percutaneous tricuspid prosthesis implantation (orthotopic and heterotopic in vena cavae)

 

  • Closure of paravalvular leaks

 

  • Treatment of congenital heart disease: closure of patent foramen ovale, atrial septal defect, ductus arteriosus, and stenting for aortic coarctation.

 

  • Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation

 

24/7 Emergency Care

  • Permanent availability for acute coronary syndrome (myocardial infarction)

 

  • Interventional management of acute pulmonary embolism

 

  • Fully equipped team for cardiovascular emergencies, every day of the year
