HonorHealth has expanded cardiac care services with the addition of a new cardiac catheterization lab at HonorHealth Scottsdale Thompson Peak Medical Center.
The new lab is part of a broader effort to expand services and patient capacity at the campus to meet the needs of the growing north Scottsdale community, according to a press release.
Since opening more than 20 years ago, HonorHealth Scottsdale Thompson Peak Medical Center has added bed capacity and specialty services as the surrounding population has increased. Current plans include a fourth patient care pavilion that will add 28 inpatient beds, with space designed for an additional 28 beds in the future.
The cardiac catheterization lab supports a range of cardiovascular procedures, including diagnostic angiograms and coronary interventions such as angioplasty and stent placement. The lab is also equipped to support more complex procedures, including renal denervation, transcatheter aortic valve replacement workups and percutaneous coronary intervention.
“This new cath lab allows us to bring advanced, minimally invasive heart care closer to home,” said Dr. Haidar Yassin, interventional cardiologist and network director for structural heart disease with HonorHealth Heart Care. “With the latest technology and a collaborative care team, we can support more precise diagnosis, treatment and recovery. This investment continues to place HonorHealth at the forefront of cardiac care in Scottsdale and the greater Phoenix area, while strengthening our position as a leader in minimally invasive coronary and valvular heart disease across Arizona.”
HonorHealth Scottsdale Thompson Peak Medical Center recently completed its first renal denervation procedure, expanding access to the treatment for patients in north Scottsdale and nearby communities.
“This investment reflects our continued commitment to growing with our community,” said Mr. Jose Romo, administrator of HonorHealth Scottsdale Thompson Peak Medical Center. “As the area continues to expand, we’re focused on ensuring patients have access to the highest-quality care close to where they live.”
The cardiac catheterization lab and planned patient care pavilion are part of HonorHealth’s long-term strategy to expand services and capacity under existing zoning approvals to address future population growth and evolving health care needs.
