Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)
CABG surgery reroutes blood around blocked coronary arteries to restore normal blood flow to the heart muscle. Our surgeons perform both on-pump and off-pump (beating-heart) bypass procedures. Patients with multi-vessel disease or left main coronary artery disease are ideal candidates. Average hospital stay: 5–7 days.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)
TAVR is a minimally invasive procedure that replaces a narrowed aortic valve without open-heart surgery. A catheter delivers a new valve via the femoral artery. Ideal for high-risk surgical patients or those who prefer a less invasive option. Most patients go home in 2–3 days.
Recovery Time

Robotic Mitral Valve Repair
Using the da Vinci surgical system, our surgeons repair or replace the mitral valve through tiny keyhole incisions between the ribs. This approach offers less pain, minimal scarring, faster recovery, and lower infection risk compared to traditional open surgery.
