Groundbreaking Broadcast Television Event Features Advances in Cardiac Healthcare
JOIN AZTV CHANNEL 7 AND BRAD PERRY FROM THE OPERATING ROOM WITH DR. DAVID RIZIK PERFORMING A LIFESAVING NEW STENT PROCEDURE TO CLEAR CARDIAC BLOCKAGE
PHOENIX and PRESCOTT, Ariz., June 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- On Wednesday, June 23, at 8 a.m. MST, AZTV7 will broadcast a heart procedure performed inside the HonorHealth Scottsdale Shea Medical Center operating room as Dr. David Rizik, world renowned, interventional cardiologist, shows us the miracles of modern-day medicine. With Arizona Daily Mix's very own host, Brad Perry, at his side, Dr. Rizik and his team will be shown performing a lifesaving stent procedure on a patient with a blocked coronary artery.
"These revolutionary cardiovascular procedures demonstrate lifesaving innovations improving the quality of life and keep patients from coming back to the hospital. It's really a remarkable ray of optimism surrounding the therapies now available to patients and their families. Patients who watch this will have a better idea of what their treatment options are, should they ever be confronted with cardiovascular challenges. It's not only interesting to watch but it is educational for our patients and our community." – Dr. David Rizik, MD, MSCAI, FACC
Many of these patients were formerly only open-heart surgery bound. Today, it is possible for those same patients to undergo a transcatheter stent placement and go home the same day. Dr. Rizik will walk viewers through the clearing of a blockage and placement of a stent to regain blood flow in a coronary artery without having to open the chest, utilizing a small opening in the patient's wrist. Viewers will get to watch the procedure with the doctors via cardiac ultrasound and specialized X-ray machines.
"Being in the operating room again with Dr Rizik and his team is an honor and seeing this life saving procedure first hand is amazing. To be able to share this ground-breaking procedure on air is another way to help to educate and fight heart disease." – Brad Perry, Host, AZTV's The Arizona Daily Mix
