Noninvasive Procedure to Improve Blood Flow
 

For those who will no longer benefit from additional surgery or angioplasty, Western Baptist Hospital offers External Enhanced Counterpulsation (EECP), a noninvasive procedure in which blood pressure–type cuffs are wrapped around a patient’s calves and thighs. A pump rapidly inflates and deflates the cuffs with each heartbeat, resulting in improved blood flow back to the heart.
