Conditions & procedures
Abdominal aortic aneurysm
Abdominal aortic aneurysm, commonly called "AAA" or "Triple A", begins when part of the aorta behind the stomach weakens and expands like a balloon. The condition typically causes no warning symptoms, and often is discovered during an unrelated medical exam. Without treatment, AAA can lead to massive internal bleeding — a serious condition.
Angiography (cardiac angiography)
During this procedure, a catheter is pushed into the coronary arteries to help diagnose coronary artery disease. The catheter is usually inserted through an artery in the groin, but occasionally an artery in the arm is used.
Aortic coarctation repair surgery
This corrective procedure is used to repair aortic coarctation, a narrowing of the aorta that impedes the flow of blood from the heart to the body. Several surgical methods may be used to widen the aorta and correct the defect.
Atrial septal defect repair surgery
This procedure, usually performed by the time a child reaches school age, is used to repair an atrial septal defect. The defect occurs in the wall between the heart's two atrial chambers, creating abnormal blood flow. The surgery involves closing the hole with a patch.
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery
During this procedure, the surgeon bypasses a severely blocked artery in the heart with a healthy blood vessel. This restores vital blood flow to the heart muscle.
Mitral valve repair
This procedure repairs problems caused by stenosis (narrowing) or regurgitation (leaking) of the heart's mitral valve, both of which can stress the heart.
Carotid endarterectomy
This surgical procedure is performed to remove plaque from the carotid arteries that supply oxygen to the brain. Plaque is a build-up of cholesterol, calcium and other fibrous tissues that can form in a blood vessel and prevent the proper flow of blood. Severe plaque in the carotid arteries can cause a major stroke.
Cox-Maze procedure
This procedure corrects erratic electrical signals associated with atrial fibrillation. Cox-Maze is often performed at the same time as other procedures such as valve repair, valve replacement or bypass surgery.
Robot-assisted bronchoscopy
More than 90% of people diagnosed with lung cancer do not survive because it is often found at an advanced stage. Robotic-assisted bronchoscopy allows for earlier detection of lung cancer with greater accuracy than traditional methods. Using this procedure, physicians can view and biopsy small nodules in the periphery of the lungs via a hand-controller, which helps to diagnose and subsequently treat lung cancer at its smallest and earliest stage. It is an extremely powerful tool that combines traditional visual endoscopic views of the lungs with computer assisted navigation based on 3D models of the patient's own lung anatomy.
