Cardiovascular Procedures

• Heart Valve Replacement or Repair

• Coronary Angioplasty - balloon catheter to open narrowed coronary arteries

• Pacemaker Implant - controls the rate of the heart

• Heart Bypass Surgery - an obstructed coronary artery is bypassed by transplanting a healthy section of blood vessel around the diseased area.

• Defibrillator Implant - a device that monitors electrical activity of the heart; in event of a potentially life threatening irregularity of the heart beat, the defibrillator will send a pulse of electricity to the heart muscle restoring normal heart rhythm. The implanted defibrillator is controlled by a small microprocessor which is able to sense if a mild pulse of a more potent electrical shock is needed to restore the heartbeat.

• Repair of Aneurysm - An aneurysm is an enlarged or weakened section of an artery. An aneurysm can rupture, potentially causing death. Repair involves replacing the damaged artery using tissue from your body, or synthetic tubes called grafts.

• Endovascular Stent Graft - Reinforces weak or obstructed arteries or blood vessels.

Our staff of physicians stand ready to serve your every medical need.

Unlike at other institutions, each case here is treated with a team approach. We find that many times having a second pair of eyes or ears in evaluating a case may turn up important details that could have been overlooked. Second opinions come standard at Centro Medico Excel.

You also have your choice of physicians. If you are unhappy with your attending physician, that is not a problem. Your choice is important; we honor your every decision.

Medical diagnostics are an important part of any case and any procedure. Without an accurate diagnosis of your case, the best treatment is rendered fruitless.

Our diagnosticians and our diagnostic tools are without parallel. Our CAT scan unit is one of the finest in the World. It is a Phillips Brilliance 64 slice unit which gives us extremely high resolution full color 3 dimensional images in every axis. A full body scan here takes only seconds and exposes you to less radiation than a conventional chest x-ray. Just as importantly, our imaging specialists see many more cases than similar technicians at other hospitals. They have the experience, and experience counts.

All procedures are undertaken with standard medical protocols, as accepted throughout the world. In some cases you will find that our techniques may be more advanced than those practiced in the United States and some other countries. Many techniques, now commonplace in the U.S. were adopted years ago in Mexico and have been benefiting patients for years.
