Procedures

Angioplasty

OSF Little Company of Mary is able to perform emergent and elective angioplasties for patients who suffer from blocked arteries as part of a registry program that started with Johns Hopkins Atlantic Cardiovascular Patient Outcomes Research Team (C-PORT) in 2000.

OSF Little Company of Mary became the first Illinois hospital to participate in this registry and have successfully performed numerous angioplasties in emergencies where time is critical.

The Hospital has a partnership with the American College of Cardiology Foundation's National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) a quality improvement program that will help improve hospital processes to further enhance this goal.

Today, the NCDR is the most comprehensive, outcomes-based quality improvement program in the United States so patients can receive complete, quality and advanced cardiac care here at OSF Little Company of Mary.

Electrophysiology

The electrophysiology (EP) lab is a state-of-the-art facility staffed by a team of cardiologists, electrophysiologists and advanced practice providers.

The EP lab performs tests and procedures to assess the heart's electrical system, diagnose irregular heart rhythms, guide the placement of devices like pacemakers or defibrillators and more. In addition, radiofrequency ablations are performed to correct abnormal electrical pathways in the heart. The EP lab can greatly improve the lives of patients with cardiac rhythm disorders through advanced diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
