Procedures
-
Pacemaker Implant
A pacemaker implant is a minimally invasive procedure that involves placing a small device under the skin of the chest to regulate the heartbeat and treat arrhythmias, by sending electrical impulses to the heart muscle when necessary.
-
Left Bundle Branch Pacing
Left Bundle Branch Pacing is a minimally invasive procedure that involves placing a special type of pacemaker lead in the left bundle branch of the heart, to help restore normal electrical conduction and improve heart function in patients with heart failure and abnormal electrical signals, who are not candidates for biventricular pacing.
-
Defibrillator Implant
A Defibrillator Implant is a minimally invasive procedure that involves placing a small device under the skin of the chest to monitor and regulate the heart rhythm, and deliver an electrical shock when needed to restore a normal heartbeat in patients at risk of sudden cardiac arrest due to life-threatening arrhythmias.
-
Biventricular Pacing
Biventricular Pacing is a minimally invasive procedure that involves placing a special type of pacemaker with three leads (instead of two) in the heart, to help synchronize the contractions of both ventricles, improve heart function, and alleviate symptoms in patients with heart failure and abnormal electrical conduction.
-
Loop Recorder Implant
Loop Recorder Implant is a minimally invasive procedure that involves placing a small device under the skin of the chest to continuously monitor and record the heart's electrical activity for an extended period, helping doctors diagnose and manage unexplained syncope, palpitations or other heart rhythm disorders.
-
Pacing & ICD Lead Extraction (Mechanical and Laser)
Pacing and ICD Lead Extraction is a minimally invasive procedure that involves removing old or malfunctioning leads from a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) using mechanical or laser tools, to improve device performance, prevent potential complications and ensure patient safety.
-
Ablation of Heart Rhythm Disturbances (SVT, VT, Atrial Fibrillation)
Ablation of Heart Rhythm Disturbances, including Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT), Ventricular Tachycardia (VT), and Atrial Fibrillation, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency or cryo energy to destroy small areas of heart tissue causing abnormal electrical signals, restoring the heart's normal rhythm and reducing symptoms.
-
Left Atrial Appendage Occluder Implant (Watchman and Amulet)
Left Atrial Appendage Occluder Implant, such as Watchman and Amulet, is a minimally invasive procedure that involves placing a small device in the left atrial appendage of the heart to prevent blood clots from forming and reduce the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation who are not candidates for blood-thinning medications.
-
Cardioversion
Cardioversion is a minimally invasive procedure that uses electrical shocks or medications to restore the heart's normal rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation or other types of arrhythmias.
-
Transesophageal Echocardiogram
Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE) is a minimally invasive diagnostic test that uses a special probe inserted through the mouth to obtain high-resolution ultrasound images of the heart and nearby structures, providing detailed information about heart function and identifying potential issues.
