Upcoming EventsOn March 23, 2021, Montefiore Nyack Hospital dedicated its new state-of-the-art Cardiac Catheterization Lab which is part of the Hospital’s new Interventional Cardiology Program. The Cardiac Catheterization lab technology provides optimal imaging that provides physicians with the most accurate diagnosis and treatment options for heart conditions.
Montefiore Nyack Hospital’s Interventional Cardiology Program is led by a team of cardiovascular experts who diagnose and treat heart conditions using minimally invasive, non-surgical procedures including cardiac catheterization and interventional cardiology. Specific interventional cardiology procedures can include pacemaker implantation, stent insertion, removal of blood clots in the lungs, and the treatment of heart blockages.
“Time is heart muscle and every minute that passes can cause irreversible heart damage, permanent injury or cardiac arrest,” said William Greenhut, DO, Medical Director Emergency Medicine at Montefiore Nyack Hospital. “With the cardiac cath lab in close proximity to The Emergency Department, we can transport patients there in minutes for emergency procedures.”
“We are pleased to bring this service, technology, and a leading team of cardiovascular experts to our patients at Montefiore Nyack Hospital said Montefiore Vice President and Chief Medical Officer, Anthony Matejicka, DO, MPH. “This program is a partnership with the Montefiore Health System and Montefiore Einstein, which enables us to deliver academic medicine and the very best care right in our community.”
