                      Cardiac Catheterization


                      Longview Heart and Vascular InstituteDoctors at Longview Regional Medical Center use cardiac catheterization to both diagnose and treat heart disease. This minimally invasive, interventional cardiology technique uses a catheter (thin, flexible tube) that is inserted into the arteries to examine the heart, arteries and veins with real-time images (fluoroscopy). These procedures only require a tiny incision where the catheter is inserted into an artery, so it results in less blood loss, less pain and a quicker recovery for patients.

                      Diagnostic Angiography
                      A diagnostic angiogram is an outpatient procedure used to examine the inside of arteries and veins to detect blockages or narrowing of the vessels. It can be used to measure blood pressure, blood flow and oxygen levels, as well as evaluate the heart's pumping ability and the health of the valves. Angiography is also used to collect biopsies and blood samples, and to evaluate other areas of the body.

                      Non-surgical Treatments for Heart Disease
                      Cardiac catheterization techniques are also used to treat heart disease by opening blocked arteries to improve blood flow. These advanced techniques offer a non-surgical alternative to treat many heart conditions on an outpatient basis. Board-certified interventional cardiologists at Longview Regional Medical Center use a variety of advanced catheter-assisted techniques, including angioplasty, where a tiny balloon on the end of a catheter is inflated to push plaque against the wall of the artery to improve blood flow. A laser can also be used to break up the plaque.

                      Outpatient services are available Monday - Saturday.
