Testing, Treatment and Research

Vascular specialists use advanced technology to determine the presence and severity of the disease and offer a broad spectrum of innovative medical, interventional and surgical techniques in the treatment.

• Vascular Testing
  
  • Non-invasive testing (blood flow and ultrasound tests)
    
  • CT and MRI
    
  • Angiography

• Vascular Treatment
  
  • Medications
    
  • Endovascular, minimally invasive such as angioplasty and stents
    
  • Surgical interventions

• Research
  Iowa Heart Center and Mercy support the investigation of new vascular disease treatments. While patients have access to the most advanced therapies available, they may also have the opportunity to participate in research studies.
