Interventional Cardiology

Dr. DeGregorio in Cath Lab

Trust an Englewood Health Physician Network doctor to offer the full range of treatments — non-surgical, surgical and minimally invasive — for cardiovascular disease and peripheral vascular disease (narrowing of blood vessels that are not part of the heart).

Interventional cardiology uses long, thin tubes called catheters and tiny tools to diagnose and treat heart conditions without surgery. Your care may include interventional cardiology if you experience:

If your condition can be treated with a minimally invasive procedure, you’ll benefit from a faster recovery time with smaller scars and less risk of pain compared to traditional surgeries. Work with your Englewood Health doctor to determine if an interventional cardiology procedure is right for you.

  • Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) and subcutaneous implantable cardiac defibrillators (S-ICD) monitor your heartbeat and uses electrical impulses to restore a normal rhythm when needed
  • Closure implants, such as a Watchman™ lessen the risk for stroke if you have a type of arrhythmia called atrial fibrillation
  • Left ventricular assist devices (LVAD), such as Impella® help your heart pump blood to treat heart failure
  • Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) treats heart failure by helping the heart beat
  • Mitral clips  treat mitral valve regurgitation by helping the valve close so blood flows through the heart normally
