Heart & Cardiovascular Services
Your heart is in the right place at Methodist. Our comprehensive cardiovascular services include advanced diagnostic services, minimally invasive procedures, and the area’s longest continuously running open heart surgery program.
Services and procedures provided at Methodist include:
Minimally Invasive
Endoluminal Graft Insertion for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair
Minimally Invasive Coronary Artery Bypass Graft
Coronary artery bypass surgery can sometimes be performed using a minimally invasive method. Off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery is a technique of performing bypass surgery without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (the heart-lung machine). Further refinements to this procedure have resulted in minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass surgery, a technique of performing bypass surgery through a 5 to 10 cm incision.
