Capital Health has officially opened the new, state-of-the-art Al Maghazehe Heart and Vascular Center at Capital Health Regional Medical Center (RMC), located at 750 Brunswick Ave. in Trenton, marking a significant expansion that covers 12,650 square feet with three operating rooms: one cardiac surgery room for open-heart procedures, one hybrid operating room, and one catheterization laboratory for interventional procedures. The new center also includes six pre-/post-op bays (two dedicated to cardiac surgery), support offices, and staff accommodations.
The project was made possible through $22 million in state grant funding awarded in partnership with New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy and representatives for state Legislative District 15 which includes Senator Shirley Turner, Assemblywoman Verlina Reynolds-Jackson, and Assemblyman Anthony Verrelli.
Clinical teams from the Capital Health Heart and Vascular Institute provide a wide range of advanced services in the new center, including cardiac surgery, open and minimally invasive vascular surgery, cardiac catheterization, cardiac electrophysiology (minimally invasive treatments for irregular heartbeats and other disturbances of the heart rhythm), and structural heart care (minimally invasive treatments for heart valve conditions, atrial septal defects, patent foramen ovale and other structural issues of the heart). The Al Maghazehe Heart and Vascular Center at RMC is part of the larger Capital Health Heart and Vascular Institute, which offers comprehensive care with a multi-specialty approach highlighted by the most up-to-date techniques and treatment options.
