Our Approach
Coronary artery disease sometimes poses particular treatment challenges. Our doctors might recommend coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) instead of angioplasty with stenting, only to determine that they cannot perform the operation in a minimally invasive way.
Hybrid coronary revascularization can potentially resolve that predicament by combining the two treatments, stenting some blockages and bypassing others. By bringing together the best of the catheterization lab and the operating room, we can protect your heart and avoid open surgery.
WHAT WE OFFER YOU FOR HYBRID CORONARY REVASCULARIZATION
- Access to a specialized treatment not widely available. We perform hybrid revascularization without opening your chest or stopping your heart. When appropriate, we use robotic assistance during bypass.
- Hybrid coronary revascularization is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat coronary artery disease. Because it is minimally invasive, open heart surgery is not necessary.
- Highly specialized expertise with a lead surgeon who specializes in the hybrid approach and has completed extensive training. Our procedure builds on years of experience and innovation with CABG and stenting.
