Cardiovascular and  Electrophysiology Services

 

Cardiovascular Procedures

  • Diagnostic coronary angiography—dye injected into the coronary arteries and/or other heart structures to diagnose coronary artery, valve and other related diseases.
  • Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)—opening blockages in the coronary arteries utilizing balloon angioplasty and/or stents.
  • Coronary Atherectomy—a spinning blade or laser attached to the catheter that removes fat and calcium buildup within the artery

Peripheral Vascular Procedures

  • Peripheral angiography—a catheter that is guided into the legs, kidneys or brain and dye injected to diagnose peripheral vascular disease.
  • Peripheral intervention—much like in the heart, balloons, wires and stents used to open blockages in the peripheral circulation.
  • Carotid artery stenting—used to open major arteries in the neck supplying blood flow to the brain

Electrophysiology Procedures

  • Diagnostic Electrophysiology Study—to assess the heart’s electrical function, diagnose arrhythmias and course of treatment.
  • Radiofrequency catheter ablation—in combination with 3D electro anatomic heart mapping, ablates (eliminates) cardiac tissue that causes arrhythmia
  • Pacemaker insertion—a device implanted into the chest wall that regulates heart rhythm
  • Automated Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (AICD)—an implanted device that continually monitors the heart’s electrical activity to provide defibrillation if a lethal arrhythmia occurs
  • Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy—an implanted device that resynchronizes the heartbeat by controlling the cardiac rhythm from both sides of the heart.  May include pacemaker and defibrillator therapy.
