Specialized Medical Services
Complex Coronary Stent Placement
- For patients with coronary artery stenosis or blockage, we offer highly effective interventional treatments to ensure smooth blood flow and reduce the risk of acute cardiovascular events.
- 95% of acute myocardial infarction patients undergo catheterization surgery within 90 minutes of hospital arrival, maximizing the golden treatment window.
Endovascular Therapy for Lower Limb Arteries and Veins
Using minimally invasive catheter techniques, we effectively improve blood circulation in the lower limbs, reduce complications, and restore patients' mobility.
Arrhythmia Treatment
- Utilizing digital monitoring systems and radiofrequency ablation techniques, we reduce surgery time to under two hours, enhancing treatment safety and effectiveness.
- We provide precise diagnostics and personalized treatment plans to correct arrhythmias and improve patients’ heart health.
Transcatheter Valve Implantation and Repair (TAVR / TEER)
Through collaboration between cardiology, cardiovascular surgery, and a multidisciplinary medical team, we offer minimally invasive treatments for heart valve diseases and heart failure, reducing postoperative complications and improving quality of life.
Da Vinci Robotic-Assisted Surgery System
MacKay Memorial Hospital has introduced the latest generation of the Da Vinci robotic surgical system, ushering in a new era of precision and minimally invasive heart surgery:
- High-Definition 3D Imaging: Enables surgeons to observe the surgical field with precision, enhancing operational accuracy and stability.
- Improved Stability and Flexibility: Effectively reduces surgical risks and minimizes surgeon fatigue.
- Minimally Invasive Incisions: Significantly lowers the risks associated with open-heart surgery, reduces pain and infection rates, and promotes faster recovery.
