Cardiac Catheterization

Hobbs Hospital's doctors use cardiac catheterization to both diagnose and treat heart disease. This minimally invasive, interventional cardiology technique uses a catheter (thin, flexible tube) that is inserted into the arteries to examine the heart, arteries and veins with real-time images (fluoroscopy). These procedures only require a tiny incision where the catheter is inserted into an artery, so it results in less blood loss, less pain and a quicker recovery for patients.

The cath lab at Hobbs Hospital features interventional cardiologists and currently provides elective diagnostic and interventional procedures. We will expand our services to include 24/7 emergent medical coverage and peripheral vascular disease care and management of pacemakers/defibrillators.
