Monongahela Valley Hospital
Our Cardiac Catheterization Lab offers the same technology and physicians from the Pittsburgh teaching hospitals. Most importantly, we offer the convenience and friendliness of a community hospital.
Also, offered are emergency therapeutic services, such as:
- Coronary Angioplasty, which restores blood flow to the heart by using a balloon catheter to decrease the blockage in the coronary artery
- Coronary Artery Stenting, which is a procedure by which a small sleeve is inserted into a strictured artery to restore blood flow to the heart
- The use of drug eluting stents, which is the insertion of a stent which emits a time release drug to prevent the artery from closing
