Heart Center

Interventional Cardiology

cath labTwo new catheterization labs are located on the fifth floor of the Heart Center. By incorporating state-of-the-art digital imaging technology, the labs offer interventional cardiologists with Cardiovascular Associates the clearest possible view of the cardiovascular system. The catheterization lab capabilities allow cardiologists to perform a wide range of invasive procedures that include:

  • Cardiac catheterization
  • Pacemakers
  • Angioplasty
  • Stenting
  • Coronary brachytherapy
  • Abdominal aortic stenting
  • Peripheral vascular interventions

A new digital storage and review system is used to archive interventional images from the cath labs and ultrasound images from the Heart Center’s non-invasive diagnostic area. This system allows cardiologists and surgeons to quickly and easily review and transfer images. Because it is accessible via the Internet, the digital storage system also makes it possible to rapidly get second opinions and to view images in surgery suites or anywhere within the hospital.
