Medical Minutes with William Schafranek, MD, Interventional Cardiologist, Hunterdon Cardiovascular Associates , discusses the difference between primary (emergency) angioplasty vs. elective angioplasty.
On February 22, 2021, Governor Phil Murphy signed legislation to allow Hunterdon Healthcare System and ten other hospitals without cardiac surgery programs to be able to provide elective angioplasty services.
Angioplasty is a procedure in which a small balloon is inserted to open a blocked artery and restore blood flow to the heart. A heart attack can occur if that blood flow becomes completely blocked.
In 2004, Hunterdon Medical Center added primary angioplasty services and has been providing emergency cardiac services to patients, but under New Jersey Law was not legally allowed to offer the same procedure if the care was needed for a non-emergent case.
On December 2, 2021, Hunterdon Medical Center received the official approval and Gerald Granduke of Lebanon was the first patient to have an elective angioplasty procedure performed by William Schafranek, M.D., Interventional Cardiologist, Hunterdon Cardiovascular Associates. This is Gerald’s story.
