The Department of Medicine is proud to celebrate the Electrophysiology Team for being the first in the world to perform a procedure using a new vascular closure system. The new device helps stop bleeding after procedures through advanced technology, which helps patients get up and around faster post-procedure and leads to earlier discharge. Kudos on continuing to innovate and improve patient care!
