Cardiothoracic Surgery
The Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery at UI Health is a comprehensive team of specialized cardiac and thoracic surgeons and staff dedicated to delivering the highest quality treatment for conditions of the heart and chest. When patients live with discomfort in the heart and chest or are faced with other challenges caused by cardiac complications, the questions they ask themselves can be never-ending.
Is it serious? How long should I wait to schedule an appointment with a surgeon? Our team of specialists within our adult and congenital cardiothoracic surgery clinics can evaluate and, when appropriate, refer patients for surgical consultation.
