The Department of Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgery at UMH Hospital is a premier center specializing in advanced surgical interventions for disorders of the heart, lungs, chest, and blood vessels. Our team of highly skilled surgeons combines extensive expertise with state-of-the-art technology to provide comprehensive, life-saving care. We are dedicated to delivering evidence-based, patient-centric treatments with a focus on precision, safety, and optimal recovery. From complex open-heart surgeries to minimally invasive vascular procedures, our department handles a wide spectrum of cardiothoracic and vascular conditions with the highest standards of surgical excellence.
Our department is led by a team of expert cardiothoracic and vascular surgeons with specialized training in managing intricate conditions of the heart, chest, and circulatory system. Their extensive experience encompasses both traditional and cutting-edge minimally invasive techniques, ensuring each patient receives the most appropriate and effective surgical care.
We perform a comprehensive range of cardiac and thoracic procedures, including coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), valve repair and replacement surgeries, surgery for congenital heart defects, and procedures for thoracic aortic aneurysms. Our team also specializes in lung surgeries, including lobectomies and pneumonectomies for lung cancer and other pulmonary conditions.
Our vascular surgeons provide expert management for diseases affecting the arteries and veins throughout the body. This includes treatment for peripheral arterial disease (PAD), carotid artery disease, aortic aneurysms (both thoracic and abdominal), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and varicose veins, utilizing both open surgical and endovascular techniques.
We prioritize minimally invasive approaches wherever possible to reduce patient trauma and enhance recovery. Our capabilities include video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for lung conditions, minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS), and endovascular procedures such as angioplasty, stenting, and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).
Successful treatment of cardiothoracic and vascular conditions requires a cohesive team approach. Our surgeons work in close collaboration with cardiologists, interventional radiologists, cardiac anesthetists, intensivists, and rehabilitation specialists to provide integrated care from diagnosis through surgery, recovery, and long-term follow-up.
We understand that heart and vascular surgery can be a significant event for patients and their families. Our team provides compassionate support, clear and detailed communication, and thorough counseling at every stage. We involve patients in decision-making and ensure dedicated post-operative care to support a smooth recovery and the best possible long-term outcomes.
