For over 25 years, the Interventional Cardiology Section at the John Ochsner Heart and Vascular Institute has brought cutting-edge technologies to New Orleans and the Gulf South Region by participating in on-going scientific investigations. In fact, Ochsner is among the first programs in the nation to establish a percutaneous heart valve replacement program for valvular patients who are not candidates for open heart surgery.
As one of the largest academically-accredited interventional coronary and peripheral vascular training programs in the nation, Ochsner interventionalists are dedicated to the non-surgical treatment and prevention of heart attack, stroke and limb loss. We offer patients with cerebrovascular, coronary, structural, valvular, adult heart family proper a who congenital and peripheral disease non-surgical options to treat their complex cardiovascular diseases.
Our team works together in developing strategies for non-surgical treatment of renal artery stenosis, chronic mesenteric ischemia, and peripheral arterial disease causing claudication or critical limb ischemia. As a national leader in acute stroke prevention, Ochsner offers the latest advances performing carotid stents and cerebrovascular disease interventions.
