4 Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Round Rock
5 St. David’s Round Rock Medical Center Some Austin-area St. David’s HealthCare facilities are part of a first-ever trial of a new treatment for chronic kidney disease. The St. David’s Round Rock Medical Center is one of four facilities conducting a trial in flexible perivascular wrap, which is an implantable device to improve the connection between an artery and a vein. The wrap helps make the vein larger and stronger, so it can withstand repeated needles and blood flow required for dialysis.
6 Ascension Seton Cedar Park Hospital
Baylor Scott & White began offering a new diagnostic test for lung conditions in January. Robotic bronchoscopy is a lung cancer diagnostic tool that allows doctors to biopsy smaller lung nodules more accurately and with fewer complications, said Dr. Soumya Neravetla, a cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon. Neravetla said the procedure uses computer- generated mapping and a camera to identify and diagnose lung cancer and benign growths.
Last summer, Ascension Seton took full ownership of Cedar Park Regional Medical Center. Jamie Youssef, president and CEO of Ascension Texas, said at the time that adding Cedar Park to the company’s network of 14 hospitals in the Austin area will have benefits for both staff and patients. “Look for modernization and technology, furthering patient care areas, additional access points, the ability to tie patients into a system of care if they have a need that may not be met locally,” Youssef said.
