Treatments our cardiac surgeons provide
We are accredited as a Chest Pain Center with Primary PCI by the American College of Cardiology. We are also nationally-recognized by U.S. News & World Report for the treatment of heart failure. Our team of board-certified heart surgeons are skilled in innovative, minimally invasive techniques that minimize scarring, have a quicker recovery time and fewer complications. These procedures can also be a lifesaving option if you are considered to be high risk and inoperable due to age or concurrent medical conditions.
Typically, we treat a variety of both common and complex conditions, including atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease and heart valve disease. If you do not require surgical intervention, we also have a cardiac catheterization lab staffed by an experienced team of nurses and specialists.
Services and procedures we offer include, but are not limited to:
- Atrial septal defect (ASD) closure
- Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)
- Diagnostic cardiac catheterization
