Surgical Interventions

An interventional procedure may be required if your tests show that you have a blocked or partially blocked coronary artery. Several types of procedures are available to open blocked arteries and allow blood to flow to your heart muscle. Today, treatments conducted without major surgery are safer and more effective than ever before. However, if our doctors determine that surgery is the best option for you, Chester County Hospital's dedicated cardiothoracic surgical team offers comprehensive surgical interventions for diseases of the heart and aorta. Our team has achieved outcomes that are equivalent to or better than national and regional results.
