Interventional Cardiologist, Dr. Mark Rothenberg, performed Palms West Hospitals first case of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) under the licensed program of Level 1 Adult Cardiovascular Services. Palms West Hospital recently received approval by the State of Florida to add the Cardiology service. Palms West Hospital can now receive and treat patients, 24 hours a day, with narrowed coronary arteries using angioplasty, stenting and other catheter-based procedures. “This is a great accomplishment for our facility and dramatically improves access for all patients requiring immediate Cardiac Intervention in the Western Communities. Patients no longer need to leave the local area” stated Bland Eng, Chief Executive Officer.
