Our highly skilled, board-certified interventional cardiologists are affiliated with the major cardiac catheterization labs in Tampa Bay. We have extensive experience with revascularization of complex coronary anatomy like CTO (chronic total occlusions) and the use of mechanical support devices like Impella. Impella is the only U.S. FDA-approved percutaneous heart pump technology indicated for patients with severe coronary artery disease requiring high-risk PCI. It provides reduction in chance of death, heart attack and stroke, as well as fewer days at the hospital and fewer repeat visits, in selected patients who qualify for its use. We are specialized on the percutaneous treatment of patients who are turned down for open heart surgery or want to explore less invasive options.
