During this procedure, a small amount of radioactive substance is injected into the vein. Its progress through the heart is then traced with a special camera.

Radionuclide Angiogram, Resting and Exercise

During this procedure, a small amount of radioactive substance is injected into the vein. Its progress through the heart is then traced with a special camera to evaluate heart function. Doing this during rest and exercise assists the physician in comparing the differences in heart activity.

Right Heart Catheterization

A right heart catheterization is performed to determine how well the heart is pumping and to measure the pressures in the heart and lungs.

Right Heart Catheterization with Heart Tissue Biopsy

Right heart catheterization with heart tissue biopsy is a procedure in which tissue samples are taken directly from the heart muscle. This procedure may be done in addition to a right heart cath to see if the heart tissue is normal.

Robotic Cardiac Surgery

Robotic cardiac surgery is a form of heart surgery performed through tiny incisions in the chest. Thanks to the use of tiny instruments and robotic devices, surgeons are able to perform several types of heart surgery in a way that is much less invasive than other types of heart surgery.

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Weight-Loss Surgery

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is a type of weight-loss surgery that reduces the size of your stomach to a small pouch – about the size of an egg. It does this by stapling off a section of it.

Rotator Cuff Repair

If the rotator cuff is injured, it may need to be repaired surgically. This may include shaving off bone spurs that are pinching the shoulder, or repairing torn tendons or muscles.

Robotic Hysterectomy

Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of a woman's uterus. When this surgery is done through small incisions using a thin, lighted scope with a camera on the end (a laparoscope), it is called a laparoscopic hysterectomy.

Radical Prostatectomy

A prostatectomy is a surgical procedure for the partial or complete removal of the prostate. It may be performed to treat prostatic cancer or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Renal Angiogram

A renal angiogram, also called an arteriogram, is an x-ray image of the blood vessels of the kidneys.
