Cardiac Catheterization Lab
Angioplasty and Stents
Angioplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to open narrowed areas in the arteries of the heart by inflating a tiny balloon in the artery. Angioplasty relieves the recurrence of chest pain, reduces complications of cardiac disease and can improve quality of life.
Electrophysiology
Cardiac Ablation
After your electrophysiology study, a cardiologist might recommend cardiac ablation therapy. Cardiac ablation is a procedure to prevent abnormal electrical impulses from occurring.
Ablation is performed like an electrophysiology study; however, an additional catheter is placed in the heart at the site of the arrhythmia so radiofrequency can slowly destroy the cells causing the problem.
Pacemakers and Implantable Cardiac Defibrillators (ICDs)
Pacemaker and ICD implant devices correct an abnormally slow heartbeat by sending electrical impulses to one or more chambers of the heart, helping it to beat in a more regular rhythm.
Heart Surgery
Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
Coronary artery bypass surgery creates a new pathway around a blocked artery or arteries, bypassing them so that blood flow can continue to the heart.
Heart Valve Surgery
Heart valve surgery is performed to replace or repair a malfunctioning heart valve or valves and restore proper blood flow through the heart.
