The cardiovascular and thoracic surgeons at Jefferson Regional Medical
Center are specially trained to perform operations on the heart and
blood vessels of the body and related areas in the chest. Examples of
these surgeries and treatments include
- permanent pacemaker insertion and follow-up care;
- coronary artery (bypass) surgery;
- surgical treatment of valvular heart disease;
- surgical treatment of artery problems for lower extremity occlusion, and aortic aneurysm;
- surgical treatment of carotoid artery problems;
- surgical treatment of lung and esophagus problems; and
- microvascular surgery for diabetic leg ulcers.
At Jefferson Regional Medical Center, our cardiovascular and thoracic
surgeons treat emergency and long-term heart care patients in the new
Heart Institute at
Jefferson Regional Medical Center — a state-of-the-art
facility with advanced medical equipment. This new facility is an
important development in our goal to provide advanced Heart and Lung Care
programs to South Hills residents. Thoracic surgeons also provide
services to patients with lung cancer through our Cancer Care programs.
