Heart surgery is one of the many treatment options offered by the highly skilled cardiac surgeons at Loyola Medicine. Loyola’s multidisciplinary team of cardiac surgeons specializes in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of disorders of the heart and chest.

Whether you have been diagnosed with heart valve disease, a blocked heart artery or a congenital heart defect, Loyola cardiologists and cardiac surgeons have extensive experience in heart surgery, providing exceptional outcomes and improving your quality of life.

Doctors at Loyola aim to repair your heart using minimally invasive techniques whenever possible. If your condition cannot be treated using minimally invasive techniques, traditional open heart surgery may be recommended.

Open heart surgery is any surgery in which your chest wall is cut open and surgery is performed on your heart muscle, valves, arteries or other parts of your heart. Open heart surgery can be performed for a variety of reasons—and according to the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the most common type of heart surgery done on adults. Heart surgery may also be done to repair your heart valves, repair damaged areas of your heart or implant devices to help your heart beat properly.
