A 100 Best Hospital for Coronary Intervention

As a Healthgrades 100 Best Hospital for Coronary Intervention, hospitals must consistently perform in the top 5% or 10% in the nation for coronary intervention. MedStar Southern Maryland continues to stand out in this specialty, having received a Coronary Intervention award from Healthgrades for three years in a row.  

Interventional cardiology is one of MedStar Southern Maryland’s cornerstone services, delivering comprehensive care and excellent outcomes through minimally invasive techniques including angioplasty, coronary angiography, coronary artery stent placement, and transradial catheterization. The hospital’s team of interventional cardiologists and coronary care specialists work in coordination to provide patients with lifesaving interventions for heart attacks, coronary artery blockages, and other conditions related to coronary vessels.

Brian Case, MD, Chief of Interventional Cardiology and Director of the Cardiac Cath Lab at MedStar Southern Maryland, credits the hospital’s collaborative approach to coronary intervention with the prestigious recognition and excellent patient outcomes.

“It truly is a team approach that makes a difference in delivering exceptional coronary intervention. From EMS and the Emergency Department to the Cardiac Cath Lab, and cardiac care and step-down units, the focus on timely, advanced coronary interventions for critically ill patients helps save lives,” said Dr. Case. “This award is a result of our team’s commitment to patient safety, quality, and superior cardiac outcomes.”

Contributing to the recognition as a 100 Best Hospital for Coronary Intervention is the sophisticated technology utilized in the program. The hospital’s state-of-the-art Cardiac Catheterization Lab, complemented by a dedicated team of specialists, provides intravascular imaging and procedures for minimally invasive stent placement and other cardiac interventions when time is of the essence. Being part of the MedStar Heart & Vascular Institute also contributes to the high-quality care delivered at MedStar Southern Maryland’s coronary intervention program.

“Being recognized by Healthgrades again for exceptional coronary interventional services is a true testament to the team’s continued commitment to ensuring the highest quality care for patients throughout the Southern Maryland community,” said Stephen Michaels, MD, President of MedStar Southern Maryland.
