The Interventional Cardiology service has performed over 900-1200 PCI procedures per year since 2014 and offers the full range of intracoronary imaging, physiological assessment, and adjunctive treatments as required including intravascular lithotripsy, rotational and laser atherectomy. The trust provides a 24/7 primary PCI service which treated over 300 patients in 2021. The unit has an active research programme in place with many clinical studies currently running.
