Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

Shasta Reginald Medical Center announces The CardioMEMSâ„¢ System is now available for patients in Redding. The first and only FDAapproved heart failure monitoring device proven to significantly reduce hospital admissions and improve quality of life.

The CardioMEMSâ„¢ uses a small, wireless monitoring sensor implanted in the pulmonary artery to directly measure the arterial pressure. The system allows patients to transmit this data from their homes to their health care providers allowing for personalized and proactive heart failure management.

Shasta Reginald Medical Center announces the WATCHMAN procedure for people with atrial fibrillation not caused by a heart valve problem (also known as non-valvuar AFib) who need an alternative to blood thinners. 

WATCHMAN is implanted into your heart in a minimally invasive, one-time procedure. To implant WATCHMAN, your doctor makes a small cut in your upper leg and inserts a narrow tube, as done in a standard stent procedure. Your doctor then guides WATCHMAN into your heart’s LAA. The procedure is done under general anesthesia and takes about an hour. Patients commonly stay in the hospital overnight and leave the next day.

Cardiac Program

Our Cardiac program brings together board certified Cardiologists, Cardiac and Vascular Surgeons, Interventional Radiologists and others, tackling Heart and Vascular Disease. From prevention and diagnosis to treatment and rehabilitation, our staff is committed to combining the latest proven technology with personal care and attention to help you get better.

Cardiac diagnostic testing is a very important tool for detecting heart disease. Our Cardiac Catheterization Lab is available 24/7 and features technologically advanced equipment and therapies for blocked arteries, aneurysms, and clots, as well as procedures in treating heart rhythm disorders, implantable cardiac defibrillators and pacemakers. The Cardiac Echo Lab is staffed by certified Echo technologists and the Vascular Ultrasound Lab is staffed by registered vascular technologists. Our staff includes top cardiologists and cardiac and vascular surgeons as well as highly trained cardiac care nurses and techs. Together they offer innovative treatments, advanced technology and comprehensive prevention programs – making Shasta Regional Regional the area’s premier destination for cardiovascular care.

Cardiothoracic, Cardiac & Vascular Surgery

Cardiothoracic surgery is the field of medicine involved in surgical treatment of diseases affecting the heart and lungs and arteries leading to them. The vascular procedures the cardiothoracic surgeons at Shasta Regional Medical Center perform are listed below. Please note that each case is unique, and the treatments listed here are for general understanding purposes only. Your surgeon will provide details on your specific surgical needs.

Our Cardiac Surgical Team is well-trained and experienced in all aspects of cardiac and thoracic surgery. A broad range of cardiac surgical services is available 24 hours a day. Our cardiac surgery teams include not only experienced surgeons, but also highly trained clinical and other staff — all focused on providing excellent patient care and outcomes.

  • Coronary artery bypass grafting
  • Valve repair and replacement
  • Aorta repair
  • Thoracic procedures
  • Vascular procedures
  • Off-pump (OPCAB) bypass surgery

Vascular surgery is a specialty of surgery that treats diseases of the vascular system by medical therapy, minimally-invasive catheter procedures and surgical reconstruction. Vascular procedures are performed in the operating room and use general anesthesia. They may be minimally-invasive, using a smaller incision, or may be an open surgery with a larger incision.

Interventional Cardiology & Radiology

  • Interventional cardiology is a branch of the medical specialty of cardiology that deals specifically with the catheter-based treatment of heart diseases. Interventional cardiologists may perform treatments for peripheral vascular disease, carotid artery disease and abdominal aortic aneurysms in the cardiac catheterization lab. This is considered a type of endovascular procedure.
  • Interventional radiology is the practice of medicine in which physicians treat disease with image-guided, minimally invasive techniques, also considered endovascular procedures. These procedures are usually performed under local anesthesia and conscious sedation using some form of guided imaging in the cardiac catheterization lab.

Electrophysiology and Arrhythmia Services

Our Electrophysiology and Arrhythmia Services offer a comprehensive diagnostic and treatment services for patients with cardiac arrhythmias. The complete range of services include several diagnostic monitoring techniques, including non-invasive risk stratification for:

  • Arrhythmia
  • Device Implant
  • Laser Lead Extraction
  • Catheter Ablation for arrhythmias including; atrial fibrillation (A-fib) and ventricular tachycardia
