Cardiac catheterization: Cardiac catheterization involves inserting a thin tube into a blood vessel to diagnose and treat heart conditions. PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) is a minimally invasive procedure to open blocked arteries in the heart.
Peripheral vascular intervention: Peripheral vascular intervention is a procedure to treat blockages in blood vessels outside of the heart in the leg or arms.
Carotid stenting: Carotid stenting is a medical procedure used to treat blockages in the carotid arteries. It involves inserting a small metal mesh tube (stent) into the artery to hold it open and improve blood flow to the brain.
Long Term Monitors (Loop Recorders): Loop recorders are long-term monitors used to track heart activity over an extended period. They are small devices that are implanted under the skin or worn externally and record the heart’s electrical activity continuously. Loop recorders are used to diagnose and monitor heart rhythm disorders, such as atrial fibrillation, and can provide valuable information to doctors to help determine the best course of treatment. They are also useful in detecting infrequent or intermittent arrhythmias that may not be captured during a short-term monitoring period.
Venous Ablations: Venous ablations are minimally invasive procedures used to treat varicose veins and other venous disorders. The procedure involves using heat or laser energy to close off the affected vein, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins. This can improve symptoms such as pain, swelling, and discomfort, and can also improve the appearance of the affected area. Venous ablations are typically performed on an outpatient basis and have a high success rate with minimal recovery time.
TEE: TEE (transesophageal echocardiogram) is a test that uses sound waves to create images of the heart. Cardioversion is a procedure that uses electrical shocks to restore a normal heart rhythm.
