Clinical expertise
Understanding complexity.
Choosing the next step.
Complex coronary intervention
Primary and complex PCI; left main disease, bifurcation stenting and chronic total occlusions.
Imaging & calcium modification
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), coronary physiology, rotational atherectomy and intravascular lithotripsy.
Structural & congenital care
Balloon mitral valvotomy, ASD and PDA closure, and diagnostic cardiac catheterisation.
Cardiac rhythm management
Temporary and permanent pacemakers, implantable defibrillators (AICD/ICD) and CRT-D.
Emergency cardiology
Acute heart attacks, STEMI, primary angioplasty and pericardiocentesis.
Peripheral vascular intervention

Non-invasive assessment
Echocardiography, transoesophageal and stress echo, Holter monitoring, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and tilt-table testing.
Clinical & research interests

A reported clinical case
Balloon mitral valvuloplasty
A newspaper feature on the Grecian Hospital team described treatment of a 28-year-old woman with severe rheumatic mitral stenosis. The team led by Dr. Ruia performed BMV/PTMC.
The report recorded an increase in valve area from 0.73 to 3.93 cm² and a fall in mean transmitral gradient from 21 to 5 mmHg, without general anaesthesia. Discharge followed around 24 hours of observation.
These are the reported findings for one patient; treatment and outcomes depend on the individual case.
