Commonly called open-heart surgery, cardiothoracic surgery focuses on the heart, blood vessels, heart valves, esophagus, and lungs.
If the arteries around your heart are blocked and cannot be cleared using minimally invasive methods or if you’re not a candidate for a heart catheter, put yourself in the highly-skilled hands of our cardiothoracic surgical team. We offer all kinds of heart surgeries and procedures at UAMS to get you back to your best life.
