L' EMO GVM Centro Cuore
Columbus Brief Overview
|
|
Main activities of EMO GVM Centro Cuore Columbus are:
Diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases: invasive and non-invasive diagnosis of atherosclerosis
affecting the vascular system. In addition to coronary arteries all other vessels such as: carotids, subclavian, renal,
aorta and femoral arteries are addressed.
Diseases treated
- Treatment for:
- coronary artery disease
- peripheral vascular disease (upper and lower limbs)
- epiaortic vessel disease (carotid, subclavian vertebral arterial disease) with cerebral protection systems
- renal artery disease
- aneurysmal disease of aorta and of other vessels (endoprothesis)
- Correction of congenital adult cardiac defects: patent foramen ovale, Botallo’s duct, inter-atrial septal defects.
These procedures are performed with intracardiac eco-guidance and without general anesthesia.
Procedures
- All procedures are performed with the state-of-the-art techniques:
- stent implantation
- traditional angioplasty
- angioplasty guided by pressure gradient (FFR) and/or intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)
- rotational atherectomy (rotablator)
- directional atherectomy
- other types of atherectomy
- thrombectomy devices
- Our Center is particularly devoted to the use of advanced techniques
to re-open chronically occluded coronary or peripheral arteries.
