Open Heart Surgery
At Lourdes, patients requiring open heart surgery take comfort from the fact that The New Jersey Heart Institute is one most highly regarded cardiac surgery centers in all of New Jersey. They and their families have the assurance of care from a highly accomplished and dedicated staff that is committed to the successful outcomes it has achieved for so many patients.
The Lourdes team can often perform surgery while the heart is still beating, thereby eliminating the need for heart-lung bypass during the procedure. The center's cardiothoracic surgeons specialize in such procedures as coronary bypass grafting, and valve repairs and replacement, as well as aneurysm surgery.
Following heart surgery, patients benefit from care in a special, cardiac intensive-care unit designed to meet the unique needs of heart patients. With the help of advanced technology, highly skilled and caring nurses and physicians monitor and manage patient progress, as they assist in each individual's healing and recovery.
