Cardiac Surgery
Inova cardiac surgeons specialize in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of pediatric and adult patients with congenital conditions, valve replacement and repair, coronary artery disease, thoracic aneurysms, heart failure and transplantation. We offer the most advanced techniques available in modern science, including minimally invasive approaches and off-pump bypass surgery, robot-assisted procedures and extensive experience in replacing aortic and mitral vales.
In addition, Inova Heart and Vascular Institute is one of the first cardiac programs in the United States to utilize the da Vinci Surgical System® for minimally invasive mitral valve repair.
A team of dedicated cardiac physicians, nurses, technicians, therapists and social workers collaborate with your surgeon to safeguard your surgery’s success during each phase of treatment and recovery. Did you know each cardiac surgery involves at least 30 Inova professionals dedicated specifically to you? Our commitment to you and your care continues throughout your stay in intensive care, on our step-down units and throughout your recovery and rehabilitation.
