Cardiac Catheterization Labs

In March 1989, Regional proudly opened the first and only in-house cardiac cath lab in the county. Over the years, additional cath labs were added to accomodate the growing needs of the community. Although other cath labs have opened in the area, Regional continues to provide the best equipped cath labs staffed by the most experienced physicians and clinical staff in County.

The cardiac cath labs at Regional are equipped to handle a variety of interventional cardiology procedures. In addition to clearing blocked arteries, recent advances in heart care have made it possible to treat other forms of heart disease such as atrial fibrillations and atrial flutter in the Electrophysiology/Catheterization Lab.

Some of the procedures performed include:

Angiojet
Angioplasty
Atherectomy
Cardiac Catheterization
Coronary Stenting
Drug-Eluting Stent
Rotoblator
Intravascular Ultrasound
Coronary Artery Thrombectomy
Transradial Catheterization
