Approach

Clear advice. Careful care.

Every recommendation is shaped by your anatomy, your symptoms, your risk and what matters to you. Treatment decisions are made together, with your GP kept informed at every step.

Many patients are referred for a closer look at a scan result, for symptoms that persist despite treatment, or for a second opinion on a complex blockage. Not every narrowing needs a procedure, and the consultation is the place to work out which ones do.

Coronary intervention

Techniques for complex coronary disease.

Each procedure is planned around the individual artery and the individual patient, using imaging inside the artery, pressure-wire physiology and calcium treatment where they help.

  • Chronic total occlusion (CTO) PCI
  • Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT)
  • Pressure-wire physiology (FFR, RFR, CFR, IMR)
  • Advanced calcium modification (intravascular lithotripsy, rotational and orbital atherectomy)

From the insights library

What your CT scan score means.

CTCA reports grade the narrowest point in your arteries on the CAD-RADS scale, from 0 to 5. The grade guides what happens next.

  1. 00%No plaque
  2. 11–24%Minimal
  3. 225–49%Mild
  4. 350–69%Moderate
  5. 4A70–99%Severe
  6. 4BLeft main ≥50% or three vessels ≥70%
  7. 5100%Total occlusion

Maximum stenosis by grade. General information only; your result is interpreted with your symptoms and risk factors.
