Heart Surgery
Lutheran Health Physicians cardiovascular and thoracic surgeons perform surgeries in the chest region-specifically in the heart, lungs and major blood vessels, and sometimes the esophagus, sternum and trachea-to repair damage caused by a variety of diseases and disorders. These procedures, which range from routine to complex, are performed using the latest in technology, devices and medications to help ensure the best possible outcomes for patients.
Procedures include:
- Angioplasties
- Aneurysm repair
- Bypass surgeries
- Coronary artery bypass
- Esophageal and tracheal surgery
- Heart valve repair and replacement
