Interventional Cardiology

Interventional heart procedures aim to boost heart blood flow, alleviate chest pain and lower heart attack risk, but they do not cure coronary artery disease. Lifestyle changes, like diet and exercise, are essential for reducing future risk of heart disease.

At INTEGRIS Health Heart Hospital, our dedicated interventional cardiologists are transforming lives with cutting-edge, non-surgical treatments. Your heart is our passion, and together we are paving the way for your heart health journey. As Oklahoma's first hospital to use a drug-eluting stent, we're at the forefront of heart health innovation.

Treatments

These nonsurgical procedures avoid large chest incisions and offer quicker recovery, though surgery may still be recommended afterward.

• Cardiac catheterization: Identifies artery narrowing or blockage by inserting a catheter from a blood vessel in the groin or arm to the heart, measuring heart chamber pressures.
• Balloon angioplasty: A small balloon is inflated inside the blocked artery to open the blocked area. This procedure can also be done in combination with a stent.
• Stents: Small wire mesh tubes inserted into blood vessels to permanently support and keep them open for blood flow to the heart.
