Because non-surgical options are safer and more effective than
ever before, Mount Carmel can offer patients more choices for the treatment of
cardiovascular disease. With more than 2,400 balloon angioplasty and stenting
procedures to their credit each year, our expert interventional cardiologists
provide a full range of the most advanced treatments available.
Angioplasty
Our highly trained
physicians are experienced not only in traditional balloon angioplasty to treat
narrowing or blocked coronary arteries, but also in advanced techniques like
cutting balloon angioplasty, in which tiny blades are inserted to open
difficult blockages.
Stent Placement
Mount Carmel's expert physicians are experienced
in using stents (tiny mesh tubes) in combination with balloon angioplasty to
open blocked arteries. In fact, we have labs dedicated to this technique and
advancing stent technology.
