Shorter balloon inflation time can reduce the duration of temporary treatment-related blood flow restriction and associated symptoms, such as chest discomfort.
“Being the first hospital in South and Central Florida to offer this next-generation technology reflects our continued investment in advanced cardiac care at Good Samaritan Medical Center,” said Sheri Montgomery, chief executive officer of Good Samaritan Medical Center.
“We are investing in technologies that support our physicians and expand the treatment options available to our community.
This milestone demonstrates our commitment to helping patients access complex heart care close to home.”
The achievement builds on Good Samaritan Medical Center’s ongoing efforts to advance its cardiac services by pairing physician expertise with new treatment capabilities.
Dr. Maini leads the hospital’s Center for Preventative Cardiac Medicine, which has been regularly investing in some of the latest technology intended to enhance heart care.
By expanding access to technologies for complex coronary interventions, the hospital continues to strengthen its ability to care for patients with challenging cardiovascular conditions.
