More Experience. Exceptional Outcomes
When it comes to heart surgery, experience and volumes matter. Our surgeons have some of the best outcomes in the nation and are recognized as leaders in cardiovascular care. Furthermore, our surgeons perform a high volume of complex cardiac surgery for patients with one or more previous cardiac operations. Despite the high volume and increased complexity, our team continues to be recognized among the best.
Complex Reoperations
Our Cardiothoracic Surgery team provides high-quality care for complex conditions, including those who need a second heart operation, otherwise known as cardiac reoperations. These procedures are more complex than first surgeries due to scar tissue and underlying conditions, thus requiring surgeons with highly advanced surgical skills and techniques.
