Interventional Cardiology Services
Dr. Bleszynski offers a comprehensive range of advanced interventional cardiology procedures, from diagnostic imaging to complex structural heart interventions.
Coronary Angiogram
A coronary angiogram is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses X-ray imaging to visualize the inside of your heart's blood vessels. This minimally invasive test helps identify blockages, narrowing, or other abnormalities in the coronary arteries.
Key Benefits
- Accurate diagnosis of coronary artery disease
- Minimally invasive procedure
- Same-day results
- Guides treatment planning
PCI / Coronary Stenting
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), commonly known as coronary angioplasty with stenting, is a non-surgical procedure used to open blocked or narrowed coronary arteries. A small balloon is used to widen the artery, and a stent is placed to keep it open.
Key Benefits
- Restores blood flow to the heart
- Relieves chest pain (angina)
- Lower risk than open heart surgery
- Quick recovery time
CTO Revascularization
Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) revascularization is an advanced procedure to open completely blocked coronary arteries that have been closed for an extended period. Learn about this complex intervention and whether you may be a candidate.
Key Benefits
- Treatment for complete blockages
- Improved heart function
- Relief of symptoms
- Alternative to bypass surgery
TAVR
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive procedure to replace a diseased aortic valve. Through a small incision, a new valve is delivered via catheter, avoiding the need for open heart surgery.
Key Benefits
- No open heart surgery required
- Shorter hospital stay
- Faster recovery
- Excellent outcomes for high-risk patients
MitraClip
MitraClip is a minimally invasive treatment for mitral valve regurgitation. A small clip is attached to the mitral valve leaflets to reduce the backflow of blood, improving heart function without open heart surgery.
Key Benefits
- Reduces mitral regurgitation
- Improves symptoms and quality of life
- Minimally invasive approach
- Option for high-risk surgical patients
Watchman Device
The Watchman is a left atrial appendage closure device designed for patients with atrial fibrillation. It reduces the risk of stroke by sealing off the area of the heart where blood clots commonly form, potentially eliminating the need for long-term blood thinners.
Key Benefits
- Reduces stroke risk in AFib patients
- May eliminate need for blood thinners
- One-time procedure
- FDA approved and clinically proven
PFO/ASD Closure
Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) and Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) closures are procedures to repair holes in the heart wall between the upper chambers. These defects can increase the risk of stroke and other complications.
Key Benefits
- Reduces risk of stroke
- Minimally invasive catheter procedure
- Permanent repair
- Quick recovery
