The cardiac/peripheral vascular catheterization lab, offers comprehensive diagnostic and interventional treatment for patients with conditions such as renal artery stenosis, aortic aneurysms and peripheral vascular disease.  Patients also have the benefit of receiving treatment for more than one vascualr problem in the same setting.

The lab is one of only a few in the region and includes a completely renovated procedure area and new imaging equipment. The lab's layout was designed to accommodate surgical-type cases with an adjacent scrub and entry room to provide a sterile environment. The layout makes the lab extremely flexible, versatile and worker-friendly.

The lab also enables us to perform peripheral vascular interventions, such as:

 Carotid stenting, which treats blockage in the arteries to the brain, can be effective in preventing strokes. It is especially effective when used in conjunction with neuro-protection, a filter that captures debris during the stent procedure that may cause a stroke.

Endovascular stent grafting is a less invasive approach to surgery that generally offers an easier recovery and a shorter hospital stay for patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). A polyester and metal tube is placed inside the diseased vessel without surgically opening the surrounding tissue. Our catheterization suite accommodates such complex cases and provides the flexibility of functioning as an operating room to provide a sterile environment.
