"First Dr Micale is a very affable person. Easy to talk to and not confrontational. He took good care of me through some testing. We later found some problems that were fixed by another Physician. As to this Physician himself my primary complaint is he does not fully listen to his patients. This caused me some issues in 2018. My main problem with that entire practice is the PAs and other support providers don't communicate. They will tell you they will but then long periods of time go by and you have to attempt to make contact, then get treated as if you are bothering them. After my last visit with one of the PAs in that practice and the lack of proper follow-up, I have decided to change Physicians and look for another one that communicates better!"

What is Interventional Cardiology?

Interventional cardiology is the treatment of heart disease without surgery, through the use of catheters. Primarily this is via a procedure called cardiac catheterization, where a long, thin, flexible tube, called a catheter, is threaded through a vein or artery up towards the heart. The catheter can be used to inject dye for x-rays, open narrowed artery walls, widen heart valves, place stents, or perform other tests and procedures.

Cardiology is a large specialty, and covers many diseases and disorders of the heart as well as several different kinds of treatments. What makes interventional cardiologists special is their ability to use minimally invasive procedures to treat heart disease. Interventional cardiologists may treat coronary artery disease and peripheral artery disease, where blood vessels become narrowed or blocked. They also may repair or replace damaged heart valves.

During a cardiac catheterization, the interventional cardiologist inserts the catheter into a blood vessel through a small incision in the groin or arm. It is then threaded to the blocked artery or into the heart, where tiny tools can be passed through the tube. These tools are used to perform percutaneous coronary interventions, or procedures done to the heart and arteries via catheter. Procedures may include:

Angioplasty, or opening of blocked arteries, often via the inflation of a balloon
Atherectomy, the physical cutting away of plaque buildup
Stenting, the placement of metal springs to hold artery walls open
Heart valve repair or replacement
Closure of holes in the heart

That these procedures can be performed without the pain and recovery time of traditional surgery is truly amazing.
