Presbyterian Hospital has the region's first operating room-based endovascular suite. The cardiovascular operating room with fixed imaging equipment allows for catheter-based procedures as well as open or combination surgeries. Capabilities include:
Catheter-based balloon angioplasty
Stenting
Rotational atherectomy
Treatment of thoracic aneurysms
Laser-based therapies
Treatment of aortic dissection
Endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repairs
The suite can be used for vascular interventions but can also accommodate open procedures, if appropriate, based on the patient's anatomy or if the problem is more extensive than expected.
Common vascular conditions requiring expert consultation and treatment include:
Carotid stenting
Subclavian stenosis
Thoracic aortic dissection
Thoracic aortic aneurysm
Renal artery stenosis
Mesenteric artery stenosis
Lower extremity peripheral vascular disease
Upper extremity peripheral vascular disease
