The Memorial Heart and Vascular Institute offers the following state-of-the-“heart” treatments:
Cardiac rhythm resynchronization— enabling the lower chambers of the heart to beat simultaneously, maximizing cardiac output in heart failure patients- Percutaneous (small openings through the skin) and surgical treatments for atrial fibrillation— the most common, debilitating and risk-prone cardiac arrhythmia
- Open heart surgery on a beating heart— avoiding external cardiac perfusion and potential side effects from the use of a heart lung pump
- Non-surgical repair of congenital cardiac heart defects— for children and adults
- Robotic heart surgery— ensuring the best outcomes in complex and delicate surgery procedures
