LIJ Ranked the Best Hospital in the State for Angioplasty Survival
A new report by the New York State Department of Health ranked Long Island Jewish (LIJ) Medical Center in New Hyde Park as the best hospital in New York for angioplasty success rates. Angioplasty is a procedure used to clear blocked heart arteries and increase blood flow. LIJ was the only hospital to receive a prestigious double-star ranking, meaning its outcomes were significantly better from a statistical standpoint than the statewide average. The report lasted three years and reviewed risk-adjusted angioplasty outcomes for 50 hospitals and more than 300 cardiologists performing the procedure.
