Cirugía cardiovascular
Los cirujanos cardiovasculares trabajan para reparar el daño al corazón y a los vasos sanguíneos. La causa del daño puede ser cardiopatías o trastornos cardíacos, incluida insuficiencia cardíaca y defectos cardíacos congénitos. La cirugía es una parte fundamental del tratamiento de muchas afecciones cardíacas.
Conditions we treat with heart surgery
We are dedicated to having the necessary knowledge and experience to perform any procedure to keep your heart pumping like it should. Conditions we treat include:
- Atrial septal abnormalities
- Coronary artery blockages
- Valvular complications
Services we offer at our heart center
Cardiac surgery is a delicate process. So although we offer traditional, open-heart surgery, our priority is minimally invasive procedures. These enable you to have less pain, a faster recovery and shorter hospital stay.
Types of heart surgery we perform
We strive to be at the forefront of cardiac treatments so that you have the greatest chances for positive outcomes. Prior to surgery, we work with you to understand the exact parameters of your condition so that we can determine the best possible course of treatment. We encourage open communication between you and your surgeon, so please make sure to ask any questions that may arise.
Our hope is that you both go into surgery and leave the hospital as comfortable as possible, particularly following any necessary cardiac rehabilitation. Types of surgeries we offer include:
- Atrial septal defect (ASD) closure
- Transmyocardial revascularization (TMR)
- Valve repair/replacement, including valvuloplasty
