Iberia Medical Center Opens State of the Art Vascular Lab
In an effort to provide faster and more accurate vascular care to Iberia parish residents Iberia Medical Center opened a new state-of-the-art angiographic X-ray lab.
We are now able to conduct minimally invasive procedures on the new system to treat a wide range of clinical problems including stroke, carotid artery disease, abdominal aortic aneurysms and other peripheral vascular disorders. These catheter-based procedures are designed to reduce some of the risks and recovery time inherent in traditional surgical approaches. Among the many benefits of catheter-based interventions are shorter hospital stays, reduced recovery time without the pain of a large incision, and less visible surgical scarring.
This fully digital system enables physicians to capture and view detailed images of a patient's vascular structure, thereby facilitating faster and more accurate diagnosis and treatment of vascular disease. Equally important, the Allura exposes patients to less radiation during the actual procedures than other systems.
"Both our patients and clinicians will benefit from the speed and excellent image accuracy of this new X-ray system," explained Marcus Latiolais, Cardiovascular Manager. "It will allow our physicians to complete a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures faster, and that means the patient is off the table and on their way to recovery and discharge much sooner. It also means less radiation exposure for the patient."
The multi-functional system can aid in the diagnosis and treatment of a range of patient conditions and can be used for procedures such as diagnostic catheterizations, stenting, balloon angioplasty and embolizations.
