CT Heart Scan San Diego

Education

Welcome to the new age of cardiac diagnostic imaging. CVISD has collaborated with Image One and CT Heart Scan to bring you a new state-of-the-art CT scanner that can scan your entire heart and look for plaque build up and blockages in your coronary arteries. This allows your cardiologist to do an angiogram noninvasively and will also give them information about early plaque detection which can aid in preventative care. If you are found to have a significant blockage, this test will help your cardiologist know exactly where it is and plan a procedure if need be. Our 640 slice scanner with Al reconstruction technology is one of the best in San Diego and delivers precision medicine like no other. Ask your doctor about getting a scan today!

PFO Successfully Closed by Dr. Mehran Moussavian

Education

57 year old male with stroke due to a small hole in the heart or Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) successfully closed in 30 minutes with minimally invasive surgery and discharged next morning by Dr. Mehran Moussavian.

What is Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO)?

A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a hole in the heart that didn’t close the way it should after birth. The small flaplike opening is between the right and left upper chambers of the heart (atria).

What causes Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO)?

It’s unclear what causes the foramen ovale to stay open in some people, though genetics may play a role.

Successful WATCHMAN Implant Performed by Dr. Mehran Moussavian

Education

Successful WATCHMAN Implant in a patient with atrial fibrillation completed in 35 minutes by Dr. Mehran Moussavian.  

What is The WATCHMAN Implant?

The WATCHMAN Implant is a minimally invasive, one-time procedure designed to reduce the risk of strokes that originate in the Left Atrial Appendage (LAA). The WATCHMAN is a permanent implant about the size of a quarter that is made from light compact materials commonly used for medical implants. Once installed, it offers an alternative to the lifelong use of blood thinners.

How The WATCHMAN Works

WATCHMAN effectively reduces the risk of stroke by permanently closing off the Left Atrial Appendage to keep blood clots from escaping. WATCHMAN can eliminate the bleeding risks and regular blood tests and food-and-drink restrictions that come with warfarin.

A heart attack or acute myocardial infarction (MI) occurs when one of the arteries that supplies the heart muscle becomes blocked. Blockage may be caused by spasm of the artery or by atherosclerosis with acute clot formation.

MitraClip procedure performed by Dr. Mehran Moussavian

Education

Congratulations to Sharp Chula Vista on performing their first MitraClip™ and starting the program. Special thanks to Dr. Moussavian, Dr. Mumtaz, Dr. Gollapudi, and Dr. Cox for the help and support!

What is MitraClip™?

MitraClip™ is a simple procedure to fix your mitral valve.

During the procedure, doctors access the mitral valve with a thin tube (called a catheter) that is guided through a vein in your leg to reach your heart.

A small implanted clip is attached to your mitral valve to help it close more completely. This helps to restore normal blood flow through your heart.

TAVR performed by Dr. Mehran Moussavian. TAVR is a minimally invasive heart procedure to replace a thickened aortic valve that can’t fully open.
