Overview
Key Figures (2024)
- 500 PCI — percutaneous coronary intervention
- 149 TAVI — transcatheter aortic valve implantation

Full breakdown by procedure is shown below.
What this means for patients
- No waiting list — assessment and treatment are typically provided within weeks
- Emergency coronary intervention available 24/7
- One of the highest TAVI volumes in Osaka
- Advanced techniques for complex and heavily calcified lesions
Located 20 minutes from Kansai International Airport (KIX)

Structural Heart — TAVI Trend
TAVI volume has increased steadily since 2016, reflecting both rising referral volumes
and expanding indications to lower-risk patients.
TAVI Annual Volume (2016–2024)
Core Capabilities
Coronary & Emergency
- PCI including complex and bifurcation lesions
- FFR-guided physiological assessment
- 24/7 primary PCI for acute myocardial infarction
- Impella mechanical circulatory support
Structural Heart
- TAVI — high procedural volume in the region
- MitraClip — transcatheter mitral valve repair
- WATCHMAN — left atrial appendage closure
- Heart Team evaluation for all structural cases
Rhythm & Vascular
- Pulse field ablation (from April 2025)
- Cryoballoon and radiofrequency ablation
- Pacemaker, ICD, CRT, leadless pacemaker, S-ICD
- EVT — advanced techniques for calcified lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD)
