When was the last time a doctor came to YOU? At California Pacific Medical Center’s Heart and Vascular Center we are prepared to treat your

most complex cardiac patients, including those with severe coronary artery disease and depressed left ventricular function who are deemed to be too high risk to undergo coronary revascularization by most surgeons and interventional cardiologist. As one of only a handful of U.S. medical centers using the Impella, a percutaneous left ventricular assist device, we have the capability and expertise to treat these patients by using temporary hemodynamic support.

I am interventional cardiologist Peter Hui, M.D. and I would like to make an appointment to see you in your office. Why? I would like the oppor-

tunity to acquaint you with our facilities, staff and equipment. I would like to tell you more about the new clinical trial we are involved in – comparing the safety and efficacy of the Impella to the intra-aortic balloon pump in high-risk patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.

Our Cardiac program offers: • Board certified, fellowship trained cardiac and

interventional specialists • Cardiac surgical, electrophysiology, transplant and

percutaneous coronary and structural heart intervention • Advanced left ventricular support devices: the Impella, Tandem Heart and Heart Mate II • “Premier Cardiac Center” designation by both Blue Cross/Blue Shield and United Healthcare for three consecutive years
