Providence Heart & Vascular Institute is the premier cardiac and heart care facility in South Carolina. Equipped with six catheterization labs, four surgical suites and leading-edge electrophysiology labs, the Heart Institute is consistently among the first to introduce new procedures such as MIDCAB (minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass), "off-pump" or "beating heart" surgery and drug-eluting stents.
Averaging nearly 7,000 cases per year, the hospital's cardiac catheterization laboratory is a vital component of the cardiac services delivered to the people of South Carolina by Providence Heart & Vascular Institute. Both diagnostic and interventional procedures are performed in the hospital's six catheterization labs.
More detailed information for many procedures can be found using the Providence Health Encyclopedia.
