The medical team of Interventional Cardiology, supported by a paramedical team of nine technicians-nurses, offers a complete service of elective and emergency procedures (primary PTCA for myocardial revascularization in patients affected by infarction), 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
As a result, Cardiocentro is one of the few Swiss centers to treat and monitor patients at any time, under any emergency circumstances.

 

Valves intervenctions are also performed (TAVI, MITRAclip).
