The scope of practice of interventional cardiology in cardiac surgery is not only constricted to coronary interventions but also has enlarged to consider peripheral vascular and structural interventions. No single individual interventionalist can master all of them because the importance and complexity of this menu of tasks are so substantial. Interventional cardiology is a section of cardiology that deals especially with the cardiac surgery equipment such as catheter-based treatment of structural heart diseases. A large number of techniques can be acted on the heart by catheterization. Cardiac surgery procedure includes the inclusion of a sheath into the femoral artery but, inactivity any large peripheral artery or vein and intubating the heart below X-ray visualization usually using fluoroscopy. Interventional cardiology is one of the most demanding and gratifying medical specialties. There are distinct challenges to both beginning and completing a career as an interventionalist that deserve consideration. A medical practitioner in cardiac surgery department should embrace and code these challenges with an appreciation for the many positive visual percepts of this extremely satisfying and rewarding career.
