Dr. Matthew Finn is a specialist in adult cardiology and interventional cardiology. He works in Houma, LA. He studied at Louisiana State University School of Medicine in New Orleans.

"My first introduction with Dr. Matthew Finn was in the operating room. I was rushed into NY Presbyterian Hospital in an ambulance into the OUTSTANDING Emergency Department. I was in substantial pain. I was looking up and saw many hands and faces all talking and all very active. I heard the words Stat and Massive Heart Attack and then my pain was matched by my fear level. I kept a brave face and positive disposition by cracking jokes trying to keep myself calm. After being sprinted to the operation room everything changed. I meet Dr. Matthew Finn. Immediately he calmed me with his voice and confidence. He explained to me the severity of my situation. I saw big machines being put in place while my arm was being prepared to have the stent snaked up my right arm to my 100% blocked Right Coronary Artery. As usual, I made a couple of jokes and felt NO I knew with Dr. Finn and his staff I would be 100% alright. Fast forward, while in recovery I meet Dr. Finn during his rounds and thanked him for saving my life even snuck in more silly jokes. He was simply the right person at the right time for me. I shared with him my concerns about not making an obligation within a week. He did not share those concerns. In fact, he was encouraging me to go. I am thrilled Dr. Matthew Finn is my cardiologist. It is without question I recommend Dr. Finn. I can’t praise his entire team enough. If you need a cardiologist look no further. Dr. Finn my family, friends, and I can't thank you enough."

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.
