The cardiovascular surgical team consists of highly trained professionals who tailor the experience for each patient and family. We know that having cardiovascular surgery is a life event, and we strive to blend state of the art technology, caring staff and a focus on customer service toward the best possible experience for our patients and their families. Whenever possible, patients and family meet one on one with a cardiac nurse a few days before surgery. The cardiac nurse explains the procedure, what to expect after the surgery and answers questions. Pre-operative tests and paperwork are done at this time to make the day of surgery more relaxed for the patient.

Mercy Hospital, along with our surgical colleagues, offer a full range of surgical procedures including:

• Heart valve surgery
• Coronary artery bypass surgery (view animation*)
• Peripheral vascular surgery (carotid, abdominal and legs)
• Aortic surgery: open (chest and abdomen)
• Aortic surgery: minimally invasive (endovascular stent)
• Lung surgery
• MAZE - minimally invasive surgery for atrial fibrillation
