  • Fractional flow reserve (FFR)

Our interventional cardiology and vascular procedures

Our affiliated cardiologists, cardiac surgeons and vascular surgeons use advanced technologies and techniques to open blocked coronary arteries and perform traditional and minimally invasive cardiovascular surgeries, including:

  • Angioplasty
  • Cardiac ablation
  • Cardiac catheterization (cardiac cath)
  • Cardioverter defibrillator implantation

Benefits of minimally invasive surgery

Minimally invasive surgery involves the use of smaller incisions compared to traditional surgery. These techniques can reduce the potential for scarring while allowing you to have shorter hospital stays and recovery times.

Our cardiac catheterization (cath) and electrophysiology (EP) laboratory

Our cardiac cath and EP lab is accredited by the American College of Cardiology and is equipped with advanced image-guided technology that enables your doctor to achieve the best possible outcomes for you.

What is electrophysiology?

An electrophysiology study is a series of tests that doctors use to evaluate the electrical activity of your heart. It is often the first step in diagnosing an arrhythmia or determining the reason for a change in the heart's rhythm.

Although the procedure involves placing a catheter through a blood vessel and into the heart, the process is relatively painless.

What to know if you need surgery

Your doctor or anesthesiologist will conduct any needed preoperative tests before your surgery date. A few days before your surgery, your healthcare team may also contact you to discuss your health history, surgery day instructions and financial responsibilities.
