Angioplasty Failure Prevention
Now there is a new, non-invasive procedure to identify
and help prevent cardiac angioplasty failures, and other heart
problems. This website will provide information. With approximately
35% of all angioplasties failing, wouldn't you want to know before
the 1st, 2nd or even 3rd angioplasty failed-if you have
risk-factors(s) making your angioplasty 2 1/2 times more likely
to fail. Pioneering clinical research begun in 1992, and published
in 1996 and 1997 (mayo clinic proceedings 1996,
and 1997) conducted by Dr. Mark
Goodman has identified “cardio-toxic” risk-factors
which very successfully predict whose cardiac angioplasty will
fail prior to the patient undergoing their first cardiac
angioplasty procedure. Additionally, my medical journal published
research has also predicted same-site second cardiac angioplasty
failures, as well as predict other adverse cardiac clinical events
before the patient becomes symptomatic. I have then exclusively
pioneered a highly successful, totally non-invasive risk-factor
modification intervention program of 8-12 hours duration (divided
into multiple sessions) that very significantly further reduces
same-site cardiac angioplasty failure; thus sparing many from
coronary artery by-pass grafting/open-heart surgery.
This non-invasive treatment program also assists in preventing
and reversing other cardiac disease related disorders, such as:
high-blood-pressure, strokes, obesity, anger, and other vascular
related disorders.

Mission Statement:
This Angioplasty Restenosis/Failure Prevention Program
is provided exclusively by Dr. Mark Goodman who has achieved international
recognition for his Medical Journal, Peer-Reviewed, published
research pioneering identification, and total non-invasive treatment/modification
of risk-factors for cardiac angioplasty failure/restenosis (i.e.:
restenosis is when the heart blood vessel(s) which was re-opened
failed, and narrows again at the site of the angioplasty). Dr.
Mark Goodman is fully licensed in New York, U.S.A.,
and provides this treatment program himself only, and does not
utilize technicians, assistants, nor paraprofessionals.
Since beginning my Angioplasty Restenosis/Failure Prevention Program
in 1995 as experimental grant funded research, over 300 status-post
cardiac angioplasty patients have been treated with this program.
The success rate of my Angioplasty Restenosis/Failure Prevention
Program is approximately 92%. Thus, about 92% of my patients
who have failed a minimum of two previous same-site cardiac angioplasty’s
(PTCA-Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty) have had those
previously failed restenosed cardiac angioplasty artery site(s) remain
open for at least a minimum of 3 years. In many cases, this
Intervention Program has reduced/postponed the urgent need for coronary artery
by-pass grafting open-heart surgery. While my patients have
ranged in age from 26-74 years of age, my best/longest successes are
in those individuals aged 26-52.
If interested, I kindly invite you to read “The
Experts Speak Interview” which immediately follows
below on this web-site. It provides a description of my totally non-invasive
Angioplasty Restenosis/Failure Prevention Program, and may respond
to frequently asked questions. Abstracts/components of my actual original
published medical journal research articles are also available on
this web-site for educational viewing.

Consultation Service:
Fee: $300 per hour by telephone (or face-to-face)
for administration, and scoring with immediate verbal feed-back regarding
results of the verbally administered “cardio-toxic” Type-A
“Structured-Interview” which also serves as a pre-treatment
baseline for assessment of the presence of identifying risk-factors.
This is typically scheduled within approximately 7 days following
conclusion of initial telephone contact with my office. The assessment
identification of this “cardio-toxic” risk-factor via
telephone or in-person interview using the same verbally administered
assessment as I used in the August, 1996 Mayo Clinic Proceedings
article is $300 for a one-hour consultation. This allows time to respond
to questions, and provide explanations and, of course education. The
Angioplasty Restenosis/Failure Prevention Program at $300 per hour
is comprised of approximately 8-12 hours. Thus, the cost ranges from
$2400-$3600 depending upon the number, and degree of severity of risk
factors requiring treatment intervention modification. As I have opted
to not become a participating provider with insurance companies, pre-payment
in advance to reserve either the initial one-hour “Structured
Interview” assessment for the “cardio-toxic” risk-factor
with verbal feedback, or for the Intervention Treatment Program is
required in advance. The fee however, may potentially be reimbursable
to the patient. Cancellation for the treatment program with 72 hours
notice or less, will result in loss of half of the full fee.
Office Hours
My New York City office hours
for face-to-face assessment and/or treatment are flexible including 3-day weekend treatment
packages. This treatment intervention program also includes a significant,
easy to understand, risk-factor educational component with immediate
verbal feedback with as much time as is necessary to respond to all
patient questions without feeling rushed. My Consultation-Liaison feedback to your local
treating physician/cardiologist with follow-up treatment recommendations
is also available if desired.
This Angioplasty Restenosis/Failure Prevention Program is
provided by Dr. Mark Goodman, without technicians/assistants, and
in the strictest confidence and privacy. Special “V.I.P.”
local logistic arrangements (and security) are available.
My private practice is low volume with no waiting, because
no patients are scheduled before, or after you on your treatment days. I am
also available to travel to the patient’s location with proper
pre-arranged authorizations.
