NEW “BI-PLANE LAB”FOR HEART & STROKE PATIENTS OPENS AT VALLEY BAPTIST
IN HARLINGENHARLINGEN – A new “bi-plane” Cardiac Catheterization
Laboratory to treat Valley heart and stroke patients has opened at Valley Baptist Medical Center in Harlingen.
T h e n e w “G.E. Innova IGS 630” bi-plane lab, com-bined with Val-ley Baptist’s o r ig ina l b i -plane lab from 2012, will give the Valley in-creased capacity to treat heart patients, including those needing “electrophysiology studies” for problems with their heartbeat. The two bi-plane cath labs also enhance treatment for stroke patients; including through“3D road mapping”of the brain.
With the addition of the second bi-plane suite, the growing Harlingen-San Benito-La Feria area now has the ability to treat two heart or two stroke patients at the same time using advanced dual-camera technology (Valley Baptist has a total of four cath labs, and two of those labs are now “bi-plane” suites).
Dr. Frank Mazzola and Dr. Luis Eguia, Cardiologists, will be conducting specialized electrophysiology studies – to help determine how to treat problems with the rhythm of the heart -- in Valley Baptist’s first bi-plane lab. During these proce-dures, electrodes on the end of a flexible tube are threaded into the heart, to gather information on the electrical activity of the heart.
Valley patients will benefit from the new bi-plane lab through more precise treatment, as the technology allows physicians to see inside the blood vessels in a level of detail not before possible, through state-of-the-art, three-dimensional imaging. Unlike other cath labs, the new lab is equipped with two cam-era arms instead of one, allowing physicians to see tiny blood vessels from two angles or “planes”. This gives doctors more options to treat blockages and other problems in the blood ves-sels. For the patient, it means less radiation and less “contrast dye” has to be used during the procedure.
For stroke treatment, the Valley’s only two Endovascular Neurologists, Dr. Ameer Hassan and Dr. Wondwossen Tekle, have used Valley Baptist’s bi-plane lab to perform the Valley’s first and only treatments of stroke and brain aneurysm patients with stroke-reversing medications and tiny medical devices delivered through a catheter (thin tube inserted through blood vessels going to patient’s brain).
For more information on heart and stroke treatment, consult your physician and visit www.ValleyBaptist.net.

Ask Our Dentists
Q: Do dental implants truly offer a permanent so-lution for my missing teeth? ANSWERED by DR.ADAM LALONDE:
Statistics show that 69% of adults ages 35 to 44 have lost at least one perma-nent tooth to an accident, gum disease, a failed root canal or tooth decay.More than 40 million people across the country “make do” with removable teeth. Half are unable to bite,
chew or gum any food with a texture much firmer than that of soggy macaroni. Dental implants al-low your teeth to have a secure foundation, which enables you to chew the foods you like while also improving your nutritional diet. Implants also help preserve the bone and jaw. Many dental implants can now be placed with little or no discomfort. In most cases, the procedure is performed in a routine dental setting on an outpatient basis and requires no hospitalization. The patient is able to go home the very same day. Frequently, our patients are able to continue wearing their existing teeth during the entire healing period and never have to go a single day without teeth. Not only do dental implants ben-efit the patients who are missing all of their teeth, and live with loose dentures, but they also help those individuals missing a single tooth or a few of their teeth. If you’re finally ready to do some-thing about those loose dentures, or need to replace only one missing tooth, consider dental implants. To schedule complimentary implant-consultation, please call our office at (956)233-4400.
