Hospital Services: Center for Cardiac and Peripheral Interventions
At the University of Illinois at Chicago’s Center for Cardiac and Peripheral Interventions it is our goal to lead the field in developing and applying cutting edge technology and techniques for the treatment of both cardiac and peripheral vascular disease as well as the percutaneous repair of structural heart disease.
Coronary lesion assessment and intervention:
Intravascular ultrasound
Fractional Flow Reserve/Coronary Flow Reserve
Complex coronary interventions including multivessel disease, left main disease, and saphenous vein graft disease
Rotational Atherectory
Angiojet thrombectory
Distal Protection
All FDA drug eluting stents
Peripheral interventions:
Renals
Subclavian
Illiac
SFA
Below knee
Structural Heart Disease
- PFO closure
- ASD closure
- Intracardiac ultrasound
In addition to applying the most advanced techniques and technology in the cath lab, we pursue an active research program evaluating the technology and therapies for the cath lab of the future, and constantly evaluate the efficacy and socioeconomic impact of our field in relation to patient care.
Research Programs:
Intracardiac stem cell therapy for myocardial regeneration
Industry sponsored drug and device studies
Outcomes and quality of care utilizing both local and national patient data bases.
