For more than 60 years, our Heart Surgery Clinic has been recognized worldwide for groundbreaking research, quality care and positive patient outcomes. Our heart surgery program provides you with the latest and most innovative surgical treatment of heart disease.
The heart surgery clinic at Stanford offers the following treatments and procedures:
Surgery to repair or replace an aortic valve that is not working correctly.
A surgical procedure to correct irregular heart rhythms such as atrial fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia.
Bloodless surgery, also known as transfusion-free surgery, is a technique that uses no blood products or transfusions during surgery.
Corrective surgery to fix or treat a genetic heart defect.
A surgical procedure used in which the blocked portion of the coronary artery is bypassed with another piece of blood vessel.
Heart surgery is performed to correct problems in the heart valves and arteries, restore blood flow, or replace a diseased heart altogether.
Hybrid coronary revascularization is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat coronary artery disease. Because it is minimally invasive, open heart surgery is not necessary.
A technique that provides the heart with a more normal shape after a heart attack, allowing it to pump blood more efficiently.
A mechanical circulatory support device helps your heart function while you wait for a heart transplant.
Surgeons make tiny chest incisions to access your heart through openings between the ribs. This approach is less invasive than traditional open heart surgery.
A surgical treatment option that removes a portion of the enlarged heart wall.
This new technique preserves as much of the natural heart structure as possible and avoids the need for artificial devices.
A procedure used to relieve severe angina or chest pain in patients who aren't candidates for bypass surgery or angioplasty.
A less invasive procedure for patients with severe aortic stenosis, using an artificial aortic valve.
