MINIMALLY INVASIVE PROCEDURES

PIONEERING PROCEDURES
Performing the first open heart surgery in 1958, St. Joseph's Health Hospital is a leader in cardiac care. A pioneer in prevention, detection and the treatment of heart disease, St. Joseph’s performs more than 900 open heart procedures per year. Achieving excellence in cardiac surgery is truly a team effort. In addition, we were the first in the region to perform a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), and now we’re bringing this option to younger, intermediate-risk patients as well.
