Advanced Cardiology Procedures in Las Vegas

At Queensridge Surgery Center, we offer a wide range of advanced diagnostic and interventional cardiology procedures designed to diagnose, treat, and manage heart conditions. Utilizing state-of-the-art technology, our highly skilled team performs both minimally invasive and electrophysiology procedures with a focus on providing optimal patient outcomes and fast recovery.

Diagnostic & Interventional Procedures

CARDIOMEMS IMPLANTATION

This procedure involves the implantation of a CardioMems sensor to monitor pulmonary artery pressure in real time, helping manage heart failure. It allows physicians to detect early changes in pressure, leading to earlier
intervention and improved patient outcomes.

FEMORAL APPROACH

The femoral approach refers to accessing the heart through the femoral artery in the groin. This minimally invasive technique is commonly used in procedures like angiography, angioplasty, and stent placements, offering a quicker recovery compared to traditional methods.

CORONARY ANGIOGRAM

A coronary angiogram is a diagnostic procedure that visualizes the heart’s blood vessels. It identifies blockages or narrowing in the coronary arteries to aid in diagnosing
coronary artery disease. A contrast dye is injected, and X-rays capture detailed images of blood flow.

RADIAL APPROACH

Transradial access uses the wrist’s radial artery instead of groin for coronary angiography and PCI, reducing bleeding and speeding recovery. After anesthesia and sheath insertion, catheters advance under fluoroscopy to image or treat lesions, with hemostasis by a compression device.

PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTION (PCI)

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), formerly called coronary angioplasty with stenting, is a minimally invasive technique to reopen blocked coronary arteries. During PCI, a small balloon dilates the artery and a drug-eluting stent is deployed to maintain blood flow and reduce the risk of restenosis.

Electrophysiology Procedures

PACEMAKER IMPLANTATION

A pacemaker is a small device implanted under the skin of the chest to help regulate abnormal heart rhythms. It sends electrical impulses to the heart, ensuring it beats at a normal rate and rhythm. Pacemakers are often used to treat bradycardia (slow heart rate).

PACEMAKER IMPLANTS

A pacemaker implant involves inserting a pacemaker device to help control abnormal heart rhythms, especially for patients with heart block or slow heart rates. The procedure is minimally invasive and involves placing the device under the skin, with wires attached to the heart.

PACEMAKER GENERATOR CHANGE

This procedure involves replacing the pacemaker generator when the battery life has expired. The generator is the component that powers the pacemaker and helps it maintain proper function. This is a quick and relatively simple procedure.

IMPLANTABLE CARDIOVERTER-DEFIBRILLATOR (ICD)

An ICD is a device implanted under the skin to monitor and correct life-threatening arrhythmias. If the heart detects a dangerous rhythm, the ICD delivers an electric shock to restore normal rhythm. It’s primarily used for patients at high risk of sudden cardiac arrest.
