We offer a variety of vascular interventional treatments, all performed in our state-of-the-art cardiac catheterization lab.

Procedures offered include:

  • Peripheral Vascular Stenting - In this procedure, a balloon catheter widens a narrowed artery in your legs. A small metal stent can help keep the artery open.
  • Pacemakers and defibrillator implantation - Implanted cardiac devices are surgically placed to help your heart maintain a normal beat.
  • Cardiac ablations - Used to treat arrhythmias, or abnormal heart rhythms, this non-surgical procedure uses a catheter to eradicate abnormal electrical pathways in your heart.

Disease Management:

While cardiovascular disease is always serious, millions of people diagnosed with it can continue to enjoy active lives by learning to properly manage their conditions.  Our Heart and Vascular Center experts can help through services such as:

  • Heart Failure Clinic - Patients diagnosed with heart failure find ways to live more comfortable and productive lives.
  • Arrhythmia Management Center - We offer a variety of electrophysiology services to help control and correct irregular heartbeats.
  • Cardiac rehabilitation - Following a heart attack or other heart problem, we design a personalized, medically supervised exercise and education program to improve your quality of life.

We have made significant enhancements to provide comprehensive heart and vascular care in Watertown.  When needed, our partnership with UW Health provides a seamless link to heart and vascular services at UW Health
