Our cardiac catheterization lab features all-digital cardiovascular imaging systems that allow cardiologists to view blood vessels, even hard-to-see ones, with clarity.
These imaging systems allow physicians at Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center to better view and treat coronary artery blockages that could cause heart attacks or other serious cardiovascular damage.
Treatment includes:
- Diagnostic Cardiac Catheterizations
- Angioplasty to treat diseased arteries
- Stent placement, to include both bare metal and drug eluting stents. When indicated, stents are used to open a severely diseased heart artery.
- IVUS and FFR analyzers are also available in the lab and utilized when needed on questionable lesions (blockages)
Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center was among the first in the state to offer the Promus stent, which offers the latest technology in drug eluting stents.
