Advanced heart disease treatment that reduces the risk for heart attack and stroke while increasing patient safety and comfort is now available in Brevard County, exclusively at Parrish Medical Center.
Shockwave Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL), uses sonic pressure waves to break up arterial calcium deposits that cause atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), which decreases blood flow and can also lead to heart attacks and strokes. IVL was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in Feb. 2021.
Parrish's first IVL treatment was performed in November by Dr. Mathews. IVL is Parrish Medical Center's latest cardiovascular advancement offered as a part of the hospital's cardiovascular patient care services. Parrish was also the first to offer other cardiovascular advancements such as the world's smallest pacemaker, the Micra AV.
To schedule an appointment with Dr. Mathews, call 321-383-7600.
