Sacred Heart cardiologist leads training on minimally invasive approach to treat severe chest pain

(May 20, 2013)

On May 16 and 17, cardiologist Stephen Cook, MD, along with Dr. William Lombardi, of PeaceHealth St. Joseph Medical Center, led a two-day session at PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend to train more than 20 physician colleagues from hospitals around the country in a minimally invasive procedure to treat patients living with a complete blockage of a coronary artery. The procedure is called the Hybrid Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) Approach, and PeaceHealth Sacred Heart is the only hospital in Oregon to perform this innovative procedure.
