Medical Procedures

  • Interventional Cardiology

  • PTCA

  • ATHERECTOMY

  • INTRACORONARY STENT

  • PTCA (Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty)
    Angioplasty allows the cardiologist to open clogged arteries by compressing the fatty build up against the artery walls. A catheter is guided to the area of blockage and the balloon which is located at the tip of the catheter is inflated and deflated many times to compress the fatty build up and open the artery to allow better blood flow through the artery.
     

  • ATHERECTOMY
    Atherectomy is a procedure that utilizes a different kind of catheter to remove the fatty build up (plaque) that attaches to the artery walls.

  • STENT
    The placement of a coronary stent usually proceeds a coronary catherization and angioplasty . The stent is a metal devise that is placed permanently in    side an artery to keep that artery open for blood flow.
