Our experience, knowledge and access to technology allows us to deliver the highest quality and most innovative surgical treatment for heart disease. Our Cardiothoracic Surgeons are board-certified in thoracic surgery.

A Cardiothoracic Surgeon performs any surgical procedure involving the heart, to either correct an acquired defect, such as blockages in the coronary arteries; or congenital defects, which is a defect of the heart someone would have been born with. The surgeon also replaces or repairs diseased valves of the heart. Any of these procedures would be considered open heart surgery.

The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) has launched a website to provide patients with a guide to heart, lung, and esophageal surgery, click here to connect to the website ctsurgerypatients.org
