Cardiac Diagnostic and Interventional Procedures
One of the best ways to reduce the chance of heart damage is to discover the problem early and begin treatment as soon as possible. At Manatee Memorial Hospital, today's advanced cardiac diagnostic and interventional capabilities are on your side.

• Cardiac catheterization
• Angioplasty
• Stenting
• Atherectomy
• Laser therapy
• Thrombectomy and thrombolysis therapy
• Intracoronary ultrasound
• Valvoplasty
• Stress testing

Echocardiography and Diagnostics
These noninvasive studies can provide doctors with information about heart valves, heart muscle and the coronary arteries, as well as possible congenital heart abnormalities.

• 2-D and 3-D echocardiography
• 2-D and 3-D transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)
• Stress echocardiography

Electrophysiology Diagnostic and Interventional Procedures
Electrophysiology Diagnostic and Interventional Procedures at the Manatee Heart and Vascular Center help give electrophysiologists precision and accuracy. They can target and treat the heart tissue responsible for electrical disturbances and leave normal heart muscle intact.

• 3-D mapping
• Implantables:
  • Pacemakers
  • Loop recorders
  • Defibrillators
  • Heart failure devices
  • Cardiac resynchronization
• Intracardiac ultrasound
• Simple and complex radiofrequency ablations:
  • Atrial fibrillation
  • Atrial flutter
  • Ventricular tachycardia
  • SVT – supra ventricular tachycardia
• Tilt table testing

Peripheral Vascular Diagnostic and Interventional Procedures
Peripheral vascular disease results from the obstruction of large arteries in the arms and legs. This condition can cause leg pain and limited mobility. As a Flagship Center for Excellence, Manatee Heart and Vascular Center is involved in research and teaching of peripheral vascular disease. The center uses advanced technology for limb salvage and to treat all vascular disease.

• Angioplasty
• Atherectomy
• Carotid artery stenting
• Cryotherapy
• Endovascular stent grafting of abdominal aortic aneurysm
• Laser therapy
• Limb salvage
• Stenting
• Thrombectomy and thrombolysis therapy
