Angiography Campaign

Intervening to provide a higher quality of life

We are pleased to announce that we have reached our goal and raised more than $3.5 million to renovate and re-equip Lions Gate Hospital's Angiography Suite. The new suite opened in April 2010.

Who will benefit?

The list of who will benefit from this new equipment is extensive. Some of the procedures it will be used for include:

• Angiograms;
• Balloon angioplasties and stent procedures to open narrow or blocked blood vessels;
• Delivery of chemotherapy directly to a tumour through its blood supply;
• Placement of tubes into different parts of the body to drain fluids;
• Thrombolysis, which is a treatment to dissolve blood clots;
• Biopsies;
• Blocking abnormal artery vessels;
• Reducing uterine fibroids by blocking the blood supply; and
• aortic aneurysms with fast recovery times is a future consideration.
