Looking for a Hospital that does “Atherectomy procedure”
Hi Leroy, I’m guessing you would need to consult a cardiologist for that procedure. I would suggest that you make enquiries with Hospital Punta Pacifica http://www.hospitalpuntapacifica.com/home/en – they have a cardiovascular centre on-site, and are likely to offer the procedure that you are seeking. There are many qualified specialists in Panama, it might be a good idea to get recommendations for a specific doctor in that field.
