Cardiac Surgery & Postoperative Care

Our cardiac surgery program consistently surpasses regional and national benchmarks for mortality, infection, and other complications—key indicators of top quality care. In the year 2002, none of our patients who underwent cardiac bypass surgery suffered heart attacks or strokes during surgery or had vascular complications. The mortality rate for cardiac bypass surgeries was 2.0%, compared to a national average of 2.2%

It’s a record that’s unsurpassed in the area.

From coronary bypass surgery to heart valve repair and replacement, repair of blood vessel defects, and correction of congenital heart defects, cardiac surgeons can perform virtually any type of adult cardiovascular surgery with outstanding results.
 
This doesn’t happen by accident. Our nurses and doctors are committed to providing the best possible care.
