Cardiovascular Intervention

A Diverse, Top-Rated Team Delivering Compassionate Care


University Hospital’s Cardiovascular Intervention Program delivers comprehensive cardiovascular care. Our dedicated staff provides emergency and elective care for heart patients and offers advanced treatment and technology for patients participating in groundbreaking clinical trials and studies.

Interventional Cardiology

University Hospital’s Interventional Cardiology Program offers advanced treatment and technology to patients participating in clinical trials and studies.

Procedures performed by University Hospital’s Interventional Cardiology team include:

  • Angioplasty
  • Stent placement
  • Atrial/septal defect closures
  • Directional coronary atherectomy
  • Septal ablation
  • Endomyocardial biopsy
  • Intracoronary ultrasound

Endovascular Therapies

Endovascular procedures are the way of the future for patients who have blood vessel disease. University Hospital offers these procedures that are achieved via a minimally-invasive approach, where the blood vessels are accessed via a small puncture or incision. Catheters are then inserted and blood vessels are treated with balloon angioplasty, stent placement and/or blood clot dissolving drugs.

Recovery and return to full activity after these procedures is much quicker as there is minimal healing required.

Blood vessels that benefit from endovascular therapies include:

  • Abdominal aortic aneurysm
  • Arteries and veins in the lower extremities
  • Carotid arteries
  • Subclavian artery

  • Groundbreaking Clinical Trials

    As one of the first sites in the country to enroll patients in the Baxter Stem Cell Trial, University Hospital explored the effectiveness of using stem cells to develop new blood vessels within the heart. Participation in pioneering clinical trials gives our top-rated team of interventional cardiologists and certified support clinicians the insight needed to effectively diagnose and treat heart patients at all levels of care.

    Innovative Lifesaving Technology

    For patients experiencing a heart attack, we work closely with our community’s Emergency Medical System to develop and streamline protocols for fast and effective emergency care. In adherence with The American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association recommendations, we’ve reduced the amount of time it takes for those patients to attain heart vessel reperfusion, giving heart attack patients the best chance to avoid permanent heart muscle damage.

    Access to knowledge and continued improvement efforts mean world-class interventional care for you.

    Mission

    At the UC Cardiovascular Institute, our mission is to deliver innovative heart disease management options directly to our patients to help them meet their optimum level of health as quickly as possible.
