Cardiothoracic surgery treats disorders of both the heart and the lungs including procedures such as open heart bypass surgery, repair or replacing heart valves, lung cancer surgeries, and more.
Dignity Health features a “heart team” made up of both cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, and advanced practice level nurses who work together to provide a multidisciplinary approach to ensure the best treatment plan is being delivered.
