Rajeev Pillai, MD, FACC, FSCAI - Indiana Regional Medical Center

Indiana Regional Medical Center is excited to announce the
opening of our new state-of-the-art Cardiac Catheterization Lab!
During a heart attack or other major cardiac event, time is critical. With each passing minute,
more heart tissue is deprived of blood and deteriorates or dies, resulting in lives being cut short
or dramatically changed due to loss of heart function. However, if blood flow is restored in time,
damage to the heart can be limited and even prevented.
With the opening of IRMC’s new Cardiac Catheterization Lab in September, we will be able
to diagnose and treat patients in minutes, without delay, saving more lives and preventing
serious heart muscle damage.
Led by Interventional Cardiologist, Dr. Rajeev Pillai, IRMC will offer:
Emergent angioplasty for treatment of heart attacks
Cardiac catheterization and coronary angiogram
Coronary angioplasty and stenting (PCI)
Internal cardiac defibrillator placement
Pacemaker implantation
Peripheral Vascular Disease diagnosis and treatment
