Atrial Septal Defect
An atrial septal defect (ASD) is a hole in the septum, which is the muscular wall that separates the heart’s two upper chambers. An ASD is a congenital heart defect that happens when the septum does not form properly. If an ASD is larger than 2cm, patients have a greater risk of problems such as:…
Learn MoreVentricular Septal Defect (VSD) Closure
Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a hole in the wall that separates the right and left ventricles of the heart. Ventricular septal defect is one of the most common congenital and occurs in nearly half of all children with congenital heart disease. Most VSDs encountered in the adult population are small and require little more…
Learn MoreHolter Monitor
A Holter monitor is a portable device with electrodes that attach to the patient’s chest, which continuously records heart rhythms for 24 to 48 hours. The device allows a Deborah® cardiologist to print an electrocardiogram strip and determine if the heart is working properly or if a patient may have a heart condition such as…
Learn MoreRadiofrequency Ablation
Radiofrequency ablation uses an electric current to heat up a small area of nerve tissue to stop it from sending pain signals. It can provide lasting relief for people with chronic pain, especially in the lower back, neck and arthritic joints.

A chronic total occlusion or coronary CTO is a complete blockage in a coronary artery.
Learn MoreRespiratory Failure
Respiratory failure occurs when the lungs cannot remove all of the carbon dioxide the body produces. This causes body fluids, especially the blood, to become too acidic. Causes of respiratory failure include: Diseases of the airways, such as asthma and COPD Diseases of the lung tissue, such as pulmonary fibrosis Diseases that can affect the chest,…
Learn MoreTransradial Catheterization and Interventions
Catheterization is a key diagnostic tool for cardiac health. Traditionally, a line is threaded through the femoral artery in the groin and up into the heart, requiring patients to lie flat for several hours, and remain flat and immobile for some time after the procedure. Although considered safe, there is some risk of bleeding with…
Learn MoreEndobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS)
Endobronchial Ultrasound, or EBUS technology is a pulmonary diagnostic tool providing real-time images of the lungs and surrounding areas. It is a critical instrument for diagnosing cancer, infections and inflammatory diseases impacting the lungs. EBUS offers these benefits: Dramatically improves accuracy in diagnosing cancer stages to determining potential treatment paths. Provides the possibility of less…
Learn MoreWATCHMAN™ Implant
Patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation now have an alternative to long-term warfarin medication therapy. Deborah® was among the first in the region to implant the newly FDA-approved WATCHMAN™ Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LAAC) Implant. This is a breakthrough for patients with AF who are suitable for warfarin therapy, but who have reason to seek a…
