Accreditations and Technology

The Spartanburg Regional Heart Center provides quality care to patients every day. It’s important to give patients the best care possible to maximize their recovery. For this reason, Spartanburg Regional strives for excellence every day.

Nationally Accredited Chest Pain Center

The Spartanburg Regional Chest Pain Center was reaccredited by the Society of Chest Pain Centers. Having received initial accreditation in December 2003, the Regional Chest Pain Center was the first in South Carolina to be accredited. In 2009, the Chest Pain Center received full Cycle III accreditation with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) from the Accreditation Review Committee.

Robotic Surgery

When medication- and catheter-based treatments cannot relieve symptoms, surgery remains the accepted treatment for a range of cardiothoracic conditions including, but not limited to, mitral valve prolapse, atrial septal defect and coronary artery disease. Patients who quality for robotic surgery for these issues can prevent the need for open-heart surgery, which requires an eight- to 10-inch incision and the breastbone to be cut.

Robotic Catheter System.

This system allows physicians to position robotic catheters in difficult anatomical locations within the heart. The physician sits at console where he or she has 3D catheter control and 3D visualization of the patient’s heart, allowing more accuracy and stability during the procedure.
