Our interventional cardiologists belong to a special branch of cardiology that uses minimally invasive, non-surgical procedures to treat cardiovascular disease. Many procedures require an overnight stay in the hospital, but in some cases, you may go home the same day.
Conditions We Treat
In addition to interventional heart procedures, our catheterization laboratory has the expertise to treat peripheral arterial disease, including artery blockages in the legs, kidneys, and neck, without surgery.
Angioplasty and Percutaneous Coronary Stenting
Angioplasty and percutaneous coronary stenting are procedures to widen or hold open narrowed or blocked arteries.
Atherectomy
Coronary atherectomy is used to remove or reduce large plaque deposits from coronary arteries.
Balloon Valvuloplasty
Balloon valvuloplasty, also called percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty, is a procedure used to enlarge a narrowed, or stenotic, heart valve.
Catheter Ablation
Catheter ablation uses a catheter introduced inside the heart to record information or to reproduce an arrhythmia to identify its precise location.
Coronary Thrombectomy
Coronary thrombectomy is a minimally invasive procedure performed to remove a blood clot, from a coronary artery or other blood vessel.
