Our highly skilled team includes board-certified cardiologists and
cardiothoracic surgeons, physician assistants, nurse practitioners,
cardiac nurses, anesthesiologists and technicians, who are experts in
preventing, diagnosing and treating routine and complex cardiac
conditions. We are dedicated to delivering superlative care and helping
patients achieve the best possible outcomes.
Our cardiologists have been true innovators and educators in the use of
the latest surgical and non-surgical techniques. More than 90% of our
coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedures are done off-pump,
compared to the national average of 19.6%. Patient benefits of off-pump
surgery include quicker recovery, fewer cognitive and neurological
consequences, shorter hospital stays and reduced need for blood
transfusion.
Whenever possible, noninvasive or minimally invasive procedures such as
robotic surgery are performed at Lankenau Medical Center to allow
patients a quicker recovery and less discomfort.
