As a part of one of the region’s most respected academic medical centers, the Division of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery offers the full range of adult cardiac, thoracic and vascular surgery, with emphasis placed on the evaluation and management of patients with:

• Ischemic heart disease
• Valvular disorders
• Thoracic and abnormal aneurysms
• Thoracic malignancies

Areas of specific interest include:

• Minimally invasive cardiac surgery
• Valvular repair
• Complex arrhythmia device management
• Video assisted thoracic surgery (VATS)
• Intensive core unit monitoring
• Bloodless surgery

Rather than following an “assembly line” style of care, we insist that each patient receive highly personalized attention from the surgeon. In addition, the referring physician stays in the loop, beginning with the initial consultation right through to the patient’s discharge and eventual follow-up visits.
