Recmed Cardiovascular Surgery provides high-quality care for patients of all ages suffering from complicated and dangerous illnesses. Recmed's heart (cardiac) and chest (thoracic) surgeons diagnose and treat problems of the heart, lungs, and chest. 

Our surgeons are at the forefront of treating cardiovascular and cardiothoracic problems, employing cutting-edge treatments such as minimally invasive heart surgery with robot-assisted techniques.

A staff dedicated to you

Recmed's cardiovascular and cardiothoracic surgeons work as part of a multidisciplinary team to provide skilled treatment that is tailored to your specific needs. Your team may include specialists in cardiovascular medicine, gastroenterology and hepatology, general surgery, hematology, oncology, otolaryngology, pulmonary medicine, critical care medicine, vascular medicine, endovascular surgery, anesthesiology, pathology, radiology, pediatrics, or physical therapy, depending on your needs. Registered nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nutritionists, and geneticists may potentially be part of your care team. 

Because we work as a team, your test results are available fast, appointments are coordinated, and various professionals discuss the best strategy for you. What could take months elsewhere can often be completed in a matter of days here.

Experience with sophisticated treatments and breakthroughs

Every year, our surgeons undertake over 4,000 heart operations. They are experts in the treatment of serious conditions and the performance of complex procedures such as heart failure surgery, heart transplantation, heart valve surgery, surgery to treat congenital heart defects in children and congenital heart disease in adults, transcatheter aortic valve replacement and ventricular assist device implantation, and total artificial hearts.

Our surgeons also specialize in cardiac reoperations, which are occasionally required owing to the degeneration of a prior replacement valve or the development of new heart disease. Due to scar tissue and other underlying diseases of those who require this therapy, cardiac reoperations are considerably more complicated than initial procedures. Patients who return for a second or even third cardiac surgery require physicians with highly sophisticated surgical skills and procedures. Recmed surgeons do about 350 heart reoperations every year.

To offer complete treatment, pediatric cardiovascular surgeons collaborate with doctors skilled in treating child and adolescent cardiovascular diseases (pediatric cardiologists) and other pediatric specialists.
