The Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery Division continually makes advances in the treatment of patients with cardiothoracic diseases, performing hundreds of open-heart and thoracic surgical procedures annually.
Our surgeons are leaders in minimally invasive techniques and have pioneered the use of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting procedures that can often eliminate the need for cardiopulmonary bypass. A multidisciplinary approach with the WVU Section of Cardiology, a regional leader in heart care, contributes to the successes of the program and the improved outcomes of our patients.
WVU also is the only institution in the region that performs minimally invasive mitral valve repair. Surgeons also perform the modified Maze procedure and are evaluating the minimally invasive Maze procedure as a sole therapy for atrial fibrillation.
Our surgeons, residents and support staff communicate regularly with each patient's cardiologist and primary care physician and help patients achieve the best possible outcome and smoothest transition back into the community.
