Specialists in Percutaneous Coronary Interventions (PCI)
Our Heart & Vascular Center is home to one of the leading programs in the nation for treatment of chronic total occlusion (CTO), the complete blockage of a coronary artery. Our experienced clinicians use PCI (formerly known as angioplasty with stent) to treat even the most complex cases of chronic total occlusion (CTO), which is a completely closed artery. In most cases, most patients feel better immediately following the procedure.
