Borgess Cardiothoracic Surgery

If you develop heart trouble, Borgess offers the very best cardiac care in the region. Patients from all over the country come to Borgess for heart surgery and other cardiac treatment procedures.

The Borgess Heart Institute is one of the largest providers of cardiac care in the Midwest.  Doctors and other specialists have created new treatment options for patients worldwide.

Statistics prove that the more experience a hospital has in any given procedure, the better the outcome for its patients. And there are few hospitals in Michigan or the nation that can match our experience in heart surgery.

Since 1971, Borgess surgical teams have performed more than 17,000 open-heart surgeries with superb results, including some of the lowest mortality and complication rates in the country.

Off Pump Coronary Artery Bypass surgery and endoscopic saphenous vein harvest are two new alternatives to traditional coronary artery bypass surgery offered at Borgess. Both procedures are less invasive, less traumatic, less painful postoperatively and will potentially return the patient more quickly to normal activity.
