Timely Comprehensive Care Saves Lives - Emergency Angioplasty
St. Francis is the only hospital in Mercer County with surgical back-up capabilities on site, where patients can receive angioplasty, the recommended best treatment for heart attack, when minutes can make the difference in survival. If a major heart artery is blocked, angioplasty reduces the risk of death and recurrent heart attacks. It has a better success rate than clot-busting drugs, and, best of all, angioplasty saves heart muscle.
Our cardiologists provide leading-edge treatments and sophisticated diagnosis of heart and coronary artery disease in our catheterization laboratories, where they can immediately evaluate whether patients will benefit from intervention, such as angioplasty.
