Cardiac, rhythm, and vein procedures performed on an outpatient basis. Most patients arrive in the morning and go home the same day.
Imaging of the arteries that supply the heart, used to find and measure blockages.
A thin catheter is guided to the heart's arteries and contrast dye is released so blood flow shows up clearly on X-ray. The study tells your cardiologist exactly where an artery has narrowed and how severe the narrowing is, which determines whether medication, a stent, or surgery is the right next step.
A brief, controlled shock that resets an irregular heartbeat to a normal rhythm.
Under short-acting sedation, a synchronized electrical pulse is delivered through pads on the chest to interrupt an abnormal rhythm and let the heart's natural pacemaker resume. The procedure itself takes only moments, and patients typically recover within an hour.
Placement of a small device that keeps the heart from beating too slowly.
A pacemaker is positioned just under the skin below the collarbone and connected to the heart by one or more thin leads. It monitors every beat and delivers a gentle electrical signal whenever the rhythm falls below a safe rate. Most patients go home the same day.
Placement of an ICD that detects dangerous rhythms and restores a normal heartbeat.
An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator continuously watches the heart's rhythm. If it detects a life-threatening arrhythmia, it delivers pacing or a shock within seconds. ICDs are recommended for patients at elevated risk of sudden cardiac arrest.
A detailed map of the heart's electrical system to pinpoint the source of an arrhythmia.
Catheters with sensing electrodes record the heart's electrical signals from the inside and can safely reproduce an arrhythmia under controlled conditions. Identifying the exact tissue responsible allows your electrophysiologist to target treatment precisely, often with ablation during the same visit.
A long-term monitor placed under the skin to capture infrequent rhythm events.
Some arrhythmias appear too rarely to be caught on a short-term monitor. An insertable loop recorder is smaller than a AAA battery, sits under the skin of the chest, and records continuously for up to three years. Insertion takes only a few minutes under local anesthesia.
Imaging of the arteries in the legs, arms, and pelvis to locate reduced blood flow.
Using the same catheter-and-contrast technique applied to the heart, this study maps circulation outside the chest. It is the standard way to confirm peripheral artery disease and to plan treatment for patients with leg pain, slow-healing wounds, or reduced pulses.
Minimally invasive closure of a failing vein so blood reroutes to healthy vessels.
When the valves inside a leg vein stop working, blood pools and causes aching, swelling, and visible varicosities. Ablation seals the faulty vein from the inside using heat or medical adhesive. There is no surgical incision, and most patients walk out and resume normal activity the same day.
Injection therapy that collapses smaller varicose and spider veins.
A solution injected directly into the vein irritates its lining, causing the vessel to close and gradually fade from view. Sclerotherapy is well suited to the smaller surface veins that remain after ablation, and usually requires only a short office visit.
Catheter-based removal of a blood clot from a vein.
A specialized catheter is advanced to the clot and used to break it up and draw it out, restoring flow through the vein. Clearing a clot promptly relieves swelling and pain and reduces the risk of long-term post-thrombotic complications.
These descriptions are general patient education and do not replace a conversation with your physician. Whether a procedure is appropriate for you depends on your history, imaging, and current medications.
