Cardiovascular Surgery

In some cases, surgical intervention is needed to repair or restore cardiac function. At WakeMed, we offer innovative minimally invasive procedures that treat a wide range of cardiac conditions. Our board-certified and specialty trained cardiologists and dedicated staff at WakeMed are experts in diagnosing and treating cardiac conditions.

Often, our surgeons partner with cardiologists, structural heart and vascular specialists to provide the best solution for the patient. Which procedure is right for you, depends on your health, your age, your condition and your vascular anatomy.
