Referral Relations : MUSC Heart and Vascular Center expands capabilities in intravascular imaging, percutaneous heart therapies

Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS)

  • Catheter-mounted ultrasound transducer gives 3-D view of entire artery wall, not just inner surfaces
  • Evaluates composition of plaques, determines exact position/length of needed stents and improves decision-making for adjunct therapies
  • Optimizes percutaneous revascularization strategies and results

Percutaneous Valve Therapies

  • For patients who might be too high-risk for traditional surgical approaches
  • Refined valvuloplasty procedures to relieve stenosis in mitral, pulmonic and aortic valves
  • Active engagement with and participation in protocols evaluating percutaneous treatment options in mitral and aortic valve disease
  • Experience with, and access to, additional programs that can help streamline referral for advanced valve repair/replacement

Percutaneous Ventricular Support

  • Useful in cardiogenic shock patients and advanced acute heart failure
  • "Bridge" therapy to recovery, surgical left ventricular assist devices and cardiac transplantation
  • Pump systems help by unloading left side of heart and restoring oxygenated blood flow to tissues
  • Provides improved circulation in cases where traditional intra-aortic balloon pumps fail to provide adequate support

Comprehensive Catheterization Services

  • Heart & Vascular Center offers the full spectrum of advanced complex and emergency cardiac catheterization capabilities including balloon angioplasty, coronary stenting, drug-eluting stents, laser & rotational atherectomy, thrombectomy, peripheral vascular balloon angioplasty/stenting, aortic and mitral valvuloplasty, percutaneous ASD closure, and more
  • Referring physicians can expect the highest quality service and the widest range of therapies available for cardiac and vascular conditions
