Regent Surgical has launched interventional radiology as a new specialty for its network with a surgical first.
Georgetown (Texas) Surgery Center recently performed the first artery embolization procedures across the entire Regent platform, according to an April 21 LinkedIn post from Regent Surgical.
Artery embolization is a less invasive alternative to traditional open surgery and can lead to faster recovery and lower risk.
Preston Smith, MD, an interventional radiologist led the program, the post said.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
