"Six Tampa Bay area hospitals are among the first 11 in Florida licensed to provide elective angioplasty without an onsite open-heart surgery program. The new licenses were awarded amid an ongoing national debate about the safety of the elective procedure to clear blocked arteries without backup open-heart surgery programs, required in many states" - Tampa Bay Business Journal
