Interventional Cardiology

Canyon Vista Medical Center's experienced heart catheterization team performs procedures using balloons, stents and other devices to open blocked or repair damaged blood vessels of the heart or body. This often avoids the need for heart surgery.

    • Heart valve disease
    • Peripheral vascular disease

Procedures and treatments offered:
