Desi Physician makes news @ OP Regional Medical Center

We’re excited to share that the cardiology team at Overland Park Regional Medical Center, led by cardiac electrophysiologist DJ Lakkireddy, MD, is first in the Midwest and fourth in the nation to offer an innovative treatment option for patients with atrial fibrillation (AFib).

The minimally invasive treatment uses Steerable Delivery Sheath technology to seal the left atrial appendage on a patient diagnosed with AFib and is a breakthrough for AFib patients at risk of ischemic stroke.
