Interventional Treatment Methods Minimize


Proven extremely beneficial in eliminating blockages in the coronary arteries, interventional cardiology treatment procedures re-open diseased arteries that supply the heart with blood.  We perform these procedures through the Staten Island Heart Institute and also the Cardiac Rehabilitation Center of Staten Island.  They include:

• Balloon angioplasty

• Intravascular ultrasound 

• Balloon valvuloplasty 

• Stent placement, including Drug-Eluting Stents  

• Atherectomy

Drug-eluting stents, the latest breakthrough in the treatment of coronary disease, have markedly reduced the rate of restenosis and the recurrence of blocked arteries, especially for women who generally have smaller arteries than men, making this procedure a major advance in treatment.
