CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION
Cardiac Catheterization is a medical sub-specialty dedicated to using minimally invasive techniques with imaging guidance. A heart catheterization - or "cath" exam, as it is commonly called - is a special diagnostic x-ray imaging exam that allows your physician to see if any of the coronary arteries have blockages or evaluate patients' heart valves functionality. We also have a dedicated Post Interventional Unit with trained staff that specializes in the care of pre and post cardiac intervention patients. JFK Medical Center is a closed Cath Lab- meaning that all of our interventional cardiologists perform close to 1000 catheterizations a year.
- Right and left heart catheterization
- Coronary angiogram
- Left ventriculograms grams and other angiographies
- Temporary pacemaker insertion
- Intravascular Ultrasound
- Intra-aortic balloon pump insertion
- Pericardiocentesis
- Thrombolytic therapy
- Percutaneous Coronary Interventions (PCI) such as:
- Angioplasty
- Coronary Stenting
- Atherectomies
The advanced technology in our cardiac catheterization laboratories includes the Philips FD 10 and GE Innova 2100, all-digital cardiovascular imaging system that assists in better viewing and treatment of coronary artery blockages that could cause heart attacks or other serious cardiovascular damage. These revolutionary systems allow cardiologists to view hard-to-see blood vessels with exceptional clarity under even the most difficult conditions.
