Our Approach to Interventional Cardiology
We're ranked in the top 1% of all hospitals in the nation for heart and vascular care according to U.S. News & World Report. Montefiore Einstein Interventional Cardiology is dedicated to the proper diagnosis and nonsurgical treatment of coronary artery, valvular and congenital heart disease. Our Center for Heart and Vascular Care has been internationally renowned as a pioneering leader in cardiac care for the past 60+ years. In 1958, we developed the world’s first transvenous cardiac pacemaker. And in 1960, we performed the world’s first coronary artery bypass operation. Our Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH) Program is one of the few in the world performing pulmonary endarterectomy (PTE), an advanced surgical procedure to remove clots from the blood vessels in the lungs. We continue to lead the way in the discovery of advanced treatments and protocols for coronary disease, housing one of the leading catheterization facilities in the United States.
Conditions We Treat
We offer patients a range of options for managing cardiovascular complications, Our interdisciplinary team collaborates closely with numerous other departments, including radiology, vascular interventional radiology, pediatrics, emergency medicine and anaesthesiology, to ensure that each patient receives thorough, comprehensive care tailored to their individual needs.
Our Programs
Montefiore Einstein Interventional Cardiology includes several dedicated programs for treating coronary disease using the most advanced, non-invasive treatments available today.
Complex & High-Risk Coronary Intervention Program
A highly specialized program dedicated to performing complex and high-risk percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in patients with complex coronary disease, led by an interdisciplinary team of interventional cardiologists.
Coronary Revascularization Program
Our Coronary Revascularization program leads the field in advanced, minimally invasive procedures to treat blood flow problems to the heart. We are a globally recognized leader in the field of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), having performed the first successful CABG surgery in 1960. We continue to pioneer advanced surgical protocols for coronary revascularization, led and developed by world-renowned cardiothoracic surgeons.
Pulmonary Embolectomy Program
We are a recognized leader in performing advanced, minimally invasive pulmonary embolectomy procedures for patients with pulmonary embolism. Our interdisciplinary team consists of highly specialized experts who collaborate across departments to develop the best treatment plans for each individual patient. We provide advanced treatment for patients with both sudden (acute) pulmonary embolism and long-lasting (chronic) pulmonary embolism. Our specialists offer a full range of collaborative care, from rapid intervention for emergent PE to recovery and after-care.
STEMI Program
With the routine use of intracoronary imaging and the latest technologies to approach complex intracoronary lesions, we have one of the country’s largest ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) programs. Our program ensures our patients can undergo complete myocardial revascularization with excellent outcomes and improved quality of life.
Structural Heart Program
The Montefiore Einstein Structural Heart Program is led by world-renowned cardiologists specializing in the treatment of heart valve disease—including those with subspecialized training in interventional cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery and cardiac imaging, all key components in evaluating and developing the best treatment options for each individual patient. Our team uses the most advanced technology available today, allowing for expanded treatment options and improved clinical outcomes.
