Specializing in Interventional Cardiology & Endovascular Interventions.

A Complex Coronary Intervention is a non-surgical procedure used to treat narrowing (stenosis) of the coronary arteries of the heart found in coronary artery disease. We accomplish this with Cardiac Catherizations or Stents.

Structural heart disease most often refers to cardiac defects which are congenital in nature (birth defects), but may also include abnormalities of the valves and vessels of the heart wall that develop with wear and tear on the heart, or through other disease processes.

Endovascular surgery is a form of minimally invasive surgery that was designed to access many regions of the body via major blood vessels. Endovascular techniques were originally designed for diagnostic purposes. Basic techniques involve the introduction of a catheter percutaneously or through the skin, into a large blood vessel.

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by fatty build up that blocks normal blood flow in the arteries and has become an increasingly common diagnosis in the US. Symptoms of PAD include claudication, which is pain in the leg (typically calf or thigh) after walking. Some patients develop pain after just a few steps, while others can walk further distances before pain forces them to stop. Procedures to treat PAD may take place Above-the-Knee (ATK) or Below-the-Knee (BTK), and a more severe form of PAD is called Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI).

Embolectomy is the emergency surgical removal of emboli which are blocking blood circulation. It usually involves removal of thrombi (blood clots), and is then referred to as thrombectomy. Embolectomy is an emergency procedure often as the last resort because permanent occlusion of a significant blood flow to an organ leads to necrosis. Other involved therapeutic options are anticoagulation and thrombolysis.
