About
Interventional Cardiology focuses on the diagnosis and treatment abnormalities in the arteries and chambers of the heart by resorting to a procedure called cardiac catheterization.
- The specificity of cardiac catheterization is that, instead of resorting to “open” surgery, the interventional cardiologist inserts a long thin tube called a catheter into an artery or vein through a small incision.
- Cardiac Catheterization is much less invasive than open surgery, which has four main benefits:
- The procedure is generally performed under local anaesthesia
- The recovery time is cut down from weeks to a few days at most
- The risk of complications is reduced dramatically
- Scarring is minimal or even absent
Euracare’s medical director, Dr Tosin Majekodunmi is a specialist in both adult and paediatric congenital & structural heart disease. Dr Tosin Majekodunmi has extensive experience in performing the cardiac catheterization procedures required to address these conditions in both adult and paediatric patients
Euracare provides management and services for many types of cardiological conditions, including but not limited to those listed below.

Dr Tosin Majekodunmi, Euracare’s Medical Director and Interventional Cardiologist is talking about his vision to provide world-class Cardiac Services and Interventions in Nigeria.
At Euracare, Dr Majekodunmi is providing pioneering procedures previously only available for patients able to travel overseas. In Nigeria, cardiovascular diseases are fast becoming a leading course of death hence the need for cardiac interventions that could relieve the symptoms or prevent devastating results such as heart attack or stroke is growing exponentially.
