Welcome to Cardiovascular Associates
Cardiovascular Associates specialize in cardiac, thoracic and vascular surgery. This consists of surgery of the heart, lung and blood vessels. The most common cardiac procedure is coronary artery bypass, but cardiac surgery includes repair or replacement of the valves of the heart, repair of congenital defects, and implantation of pacemakers and defibrillator devices. Common thoracic procedures include surgery for biopsy of the lung or removal of lung lesions. These procedures may be done without opening the chest by using the video endoscope or may be done by more conventional chest surgery. Vascular surgery includes surgery for treatment of aneurysms or obstruction of the arteries by atherosclerosis. New techniques include use of balloon dilatation and stent placements.
The purpose of this website is to provide a summary of the functions of the heart, lungs and blood vessels, the diseases that typically affect these organs, treatments that are employed, and how these impact you as the patient and your family. Only certain sections may apply to your specific situation. In addition, there will be questions that you do not find answered here. Please call our office at 251-639-0505 or 251-438-1200.
