Saint Peter's University Hospital offers comprehensive cardiac care, specializing in both emergency and elective angioplasty procedures. Our state-of-the-art facilities and experienced team of board-certified interventional cardiologists are equipped to handle critical cardiac emergencies and provide advanced treatment options for patients with heart conditions.
Angioplasty is a decades-proven procedure that increases life-sustaining blood flow to the heart when coronary artery disease has blocked the vessels that feed it. Guided by sophisticated imaging, surgeons thread a thin, flexible tube through the bloodstream to deliver powerful intervention, right at the site of the blockage.
Emergency Angioplasty
Every second counts once a heart attack has begun. Saint Peter's University Hospital is licensed to perform emergency angioplasty on patients who arrive in our emergency room in the throes of a heart attack. Our team of highly experienced, board-certified interventional cardiologists open life-threatening coronary blockages to restore normal blood flow to the heart.
Elective Angioplasty
In addition to emergency angioplasty, Saint Peter's is licensed to perform elective angioplasty procedures, also known as elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This expansion of services allows us to provide a wider range of diagnostic and treatment options for patients with cardiac disease.
