Advanced and Personalized Surgical Heart Care
When you come to us for a consultation, we will review your medical history, symptoms, and personal preferences to design a plan of care that meets your needs. Some patients don't need a procedure right away, but may benefit from regular monitoring, medication, and lifestyle changes. Others may need a minimally invasive procedure or open heart surgery. Treatments we offer include:
- Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for coronary artery disease
- Valve repair and replacement, including transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and treatment of mitral valve disorders
- Repair of aortic aneurysms and dissections using open surgery and transcatheter approaches
- Hybrid convergent treatment of atrial fibrillation, which combines catheter ablation and surgery for people with atrial fibrillation that persists despite non-surgical approaches
- Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), a way to artificially supply oxygen-rich blood to the body when the heart and lungs are incapable of doing so
