Cardiac catheterization

Mayo Clinic s approach

Mayo Clinic doctors trained in cardiovascular medicine and other areas have experience performing cardiac catheterization for a variety of heart conditions. Mayo Clinic cardiologists with experience diagnosing and treating coronary artery disease provide care for people with coronary artery disease and other heart conditions in the Coronary Artery Disease Clinic at Mayo Clinic s campus in Minnesota. Collaborative approach. Mayo Clinic staff in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory collaborates with other specialty areas and offers treatment for several conditions, including carotid artery disease and peripheral artery disease. Scheduling efficiency. A detailed itinerary for appointments, tests and procedures lets you make the most of your time at the clinic. The staff completes all tests and labs at Mayo Clinic, which means tests taken in the morning can be reviewed the same afternoon. This collaborative approach means doctors can often evaluate you and develop a treatment plan within two or three days. Advanced diagnosis and treatment. Mayo Clinic has pioneered several catheter-based therapies, including complex coronary artery revascularization, valve repair and valve replacement. Mayo Clinic cardiologists may use devices that don't require heart surgery to repair certain types of heart valve disorders, such as mitral valve regurgitation. Innovative research. Doctors in Mayo Clinic's Cardiovascular Research Center are focused on developing cutting-edge, catheter-based diagnostic tests and innovative treatments for people with cardiovascular disease.
