Cardiac Catheterization

Cardiac catheterization is performed to evaluate heart function, the presence of heart disease, and the need for further treatment.

Cardiac Catheterization with ASD

An atrial septal defect is a congenital heart disorder that allows blood to flow between the two upper chambers of the heart - the right and left atria.

Cardiac Catheterization with VSD

Cardiac catheterization using a VSD closure device is a procedure to close a hole (ventricular septal defect or VSD) in the wall (septum) that separates the heart’s left and right ventricles (pumping chambers).

Cardiac Event Monitor

Cardiac event monitor is a small recording device used to detect abnormal heart rhythms.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy refers to diseases of the heart muscle which becomes enlarged, thick, or rigid. In rare cases, the muscle tissue in the heart is replaced with scar tissue. Cardiomyopathy can develop over time or can be inherited. It can affect people of all ages.

Cardioversion

Cardioversion is a procedure in which an electrical shock is delivered to the heart to convert an irregular or fast heart rhythm (arrhythmia) back to normal.

Cardioverter Defibrillator Insertion

Cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) insertion involves the surgical placement of a small, electronic device used to regulate and continuously monitor the electrical activity of the heart.

Carotid Artery Disease/Carotid Artery Stenosis

The carotid arteries, located on each side of your neck, are the main blood vessels that carry blood and oxygen to the brain. When these arteries become narrowed as a result of plaque buildup, it’s called carotid artery disease, or carotid artery stenosis.

Carotid Endarterectomy

  Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery angioplasty with stenting (CAS) are procedures performed to treat carotid artery disease in certain circumstances.

Carpal Tunnel Release

A carpal tunnel release is surgery to relieve pressure on the nerve located inside the carpal tunnel, an area on the palm side of the wrist that supplies sensation to the thumb, index, middle, and half the ring finger.

Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery

Treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) should begin right away under the care of a physician.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) occurs when the median nerve is compressed or “pinched” as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist, causing such symptoms as pain, grip weakness, and numbness and tingling in the fingers.
