Patient Care

Arm ergometry stress testing offers alternative to treadmill or leg cycle testing

Arm ergometry can facilitate stress testing for patients who complain of symptoms only or primarily during arm work and for patients with paraplegia or other severe lower extremity disability.

Success rates for difficult polypectomies improve with use of multidisciplinary care teams

Advanced multidisciplinary teams improve outcomes for patients with difficult-to-resect lesions and reduce risk of post-procedural or post-surgical complications.

MRI-guided laser ablation helps patients with focal epilepsy

A minimally invasive laser surgery option is now available for patients with focal seizures from a defined seizure focus.

Research
