At Ascension Seton Institute for Cardiovascular Health — a collaboration between Ascension Seton and UT Health Austin, the clinical practice of The University of Texas at Austin — cardiovascular surgeons, interventional cardiologists, and vascular surgeons deliver life-saving surgical treatments to help open clogged arteries, restore blood flow to the heart, repair leaky heart valves, and more. Whenever possible, your doctor uses minimally invasive, catheter-based surgery. If open heart is recommended, our surgeons are highly experienced in these care options.
Each appointment starts with a conversation between you and your heart surgeon. We listen to your concerns and answer your questions. Then, we work with you on a surgical care plan that’s right for you – from surgery to recovery and cardiac rehabilitation.
We specialize in heart procedures to:
- Bypass damaged or clogged arteries and graft new ones into the heart (CABG)
- Repair damage from a heart trauma or a hole in the heart
- Replace or repair a leaky heart valve with robotic surgery (mitral valve, aortic valve and tricuspid valve)
- Restore normal heart rhythm due to chronic AFib
- Treat a heart infection
- Aortic aneurysms
A multispecialty team, dedicated to your cardiac care
When you choose Ascension Seton Institute for Cardiovascular Health for your heart surgery, you have an experienced team dedicated to your care. Your multispecialty care team will include a cardiologist, cardiac surgeon, dietitian, nurse practitioner, social worker, speech and language pathologist, occupational and physical therapist, and cardiac rehabilitation specialists.
Minimally invasive surgery may be an option for your care, often meaning a shorter recovery time and lower risk of infection. If open-heart surgery is recommended as part of your care plan, our surgeons have the expertise to provide the advanced heart care you need. Together, your team of doctors delivers advanced heart and vascular care to help improve your heart function.
