Here are three cardiology ASCs that have recently opened, expanded service lines or are in the process of opening, as reported by Becker's in the last month:
1. Deltona, Fla.-based Advanced Heart and Vascular Surgery Center, an affiliate of Cardiovascular Centers of America, launched Florida's first complete cardiac ablation service line.
2. Mesa, Ariz.-based Tri-City Cardiology added the CardioMEMS HF System following approval from CMS, making it one of the first ASCs that the agency has approved to perform procedures with the technology. The CardioMEMS system is implanted in a minimally invasive procedure and provides real-time monitoring of pulmonary artery pressure.
3. Downers Grove, Ill.-based Advocate Health Care received approval from the Naperville, Ill., planning commission to open a cardiology ASC in a former LA Fitness. It will also offer primary care, cardiovascular clinician offices, cardiac diagnostic services, lab and imaging.
