St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center® is located in the heart of Roslyn, NY. Our facility is recognized by U.S News & World Report as a national leader for Cardiology and Open Heart surgery as well as ranked 6th in New York State.

At St. Francis Heart Center, there's no guesswork in our angioplasty procedures. We greatly improve outcomes and reduce the possibility of a recurrence of arterial blockage. Our heart and vascular team includes board-certified cardiothoracic surgeons, anesthesiologists, perfusionists and specially trained nurses who are experts in interventional cardiology. 

A coronary angioplasty, also known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), uses a catheter to open a blocked artery. Precision angioplasty refers to PCIs guided by 3D intravascular imaging to place the stent as precisely as possible. Necessary length and diameter are customized to the exact millimeter.

3D intravascular imaging sets Catholic Health apart. We don't use the more commonly performed 2D intravascular imaging that requires estimating the placement and length of each stent.
