(For Physicians and Patients)
Holy Cross Hospital and Holy Cross Germantown Hospital offer a wide array of interventional procedure services for patients who have conditions that are treatable with these minimally invasive, image-guided techniques.
Our board-certified interventional radiologists, vascular surgeons, cardiologists and interventional neuroradiologists use the latest equipment and technology in dedicated interventional procedure rooms. They identify the least invasive treatments available and use X-rays, MRI and other imaging techniques to perform a variety of procedures reaching the source of the disease within the body.
There are many patient benefits to interventional approaches, and many conditions that once required more invasive surgery can now be treated in this way. These benefits include less risk for complications, less pain and a shorter recovery time.
