Cardiology procedures and treatment
We provide advanced surgical and minimally invasive procedures designed to treat complex heart, vascular, and thoracic conditions.
Interventional cardiology is a branch of medicine that uses a minimally invasive catheter-based approach for treating diseases of the heart and vascular system. For many patients, an interventional procedure is preferable over an open-heart procedure because there are usually fewer risks and complications, less blood loss, a faster recovery and proven results.

- Cardiac catheterization
- Balloon angioplasty and stent placement
- Electrophysiological investigations
- Radiofrequency ablation
- Pacemaker and implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation

Diagnostic testing and early detection
From sophisticated testing for early diagnosis and treatment, to interventional treatments that clear blocked arteries, the experienced heart team at Holy Cross Health provides care for a wide range of heart and vascular conditions.
Early detection is the key to treating heart disease, and a heart screening is a noninvasive way to detect health problems before symptoms occur. The scan uses a state-of-the-art 64-slice CT scanner to measure the amount of “plaque” in the coronary arteries.
Plaque is the substance that builds within the walls of the arteries and can cause a heart attack if the arteries become blocked.

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery: Benefits & Procedure Explained
The Jim Moran legacy at Holy Cross Health
Jim Moran donated $1 million to Holy Cross Health for a cardiovascular intensive care unit after undergoing lifesaving open-heart surgery here in 1988.
In 2000, Jim and Jan Moran and JM Family Enterprises contributed $6 million for the construction of the Jim Moran Heart and Vascular Center.
Not content to stop there, in 2006 they created a five-year, $26 million challenge -The Moran Challenge - and pledged $10 million to start an institute focusing on early-stage clinical trials in heart and vascular medicine.
In essence, The Moran Challenge matches $1.00 for every $1.60 contributed, up to $16 million for this vital research.
