\n across acute and chronic cardiovascular conditions \u2014 from emergency coronary intervention
\n to advanced structural heart procedures including TAVI and MitraClip.
\n With 500 PCI procedures and 149 TAVI procedures performed in 2024,
\n this represents one of the higher procedural volumes in Osaka.\n <\/p>\n
\n The department is led by Dr. Hiroshi Fujita<\/strong> \u2014 Vice President of the hospital
\n and former Clinical Professor at Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine \u2014
\n who specialises in ischemic heart disease, coronary circulation, and cardiac nuclear medicine.
\n Expertise spans structural heart intervention, arrhythmia,
\n and endovascular treatment for peripheral artery disease.\n <\/p>\n
\n\n Emergency cardiovascular care is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year<\/strong>.
\n When surgical intervention is required, seamless escalation to the Cardiovascular Surgery team
\n is provided within the same hospital \u2014 including the Heart Team pathway for TAVI and MitraClip.
