Heart and vascular surgery

At Medical City Healthcare, fellowship-trained cardiovascular surgeons are supported by cardiac team members who diagnose and perform advanced procedures for a variety of cardiovascular conditions, including:

• Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), an open heart surgery for coronary artery disease
• Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AFib)
• Stent placement, balloon angioplasty and surgical bypass for peripheral artery disease (PAD), atherosclerosis and other conditions
• Valve replacement and repair
• Heart assist devices, including pacemakers, ventricular assist devices (VAD) and implanted cardioverter defibrillators (ICD)
• Intervention for congestive heart failure (CHF)
• Thoracic aortic surgery to repair aortic aneurysms and perform aortic dissections
• Advanced, minimally invasive endovascular procedures and imaging techniques for stroke treatment and neurovascular disorders
• Heart transplant
• Limb preservation and wound care

If you need heart surgery and are a candidate for laparoscopic surgery (minimally invasive surgery), you may also qualify for a robotic-assisted surgery.

Benefits of robotic-assisted surgery include:

• Small incisions for quicker healing and less scarring
• A 3D view inside your body
• Instruments that bend and rotate far greater than the human hand
• Enhanced vision, precision and control
