St. Vincent�s Manhattan Among the Best in Cardiac Surgery According to Data Released by NY State Department of Health
The New York State Department of Health (DOH) released data on adult coronary artery bypass graft surgery mortality showing that St. Vincent�s Hospital Manhattan had one of the best risk-adjusted mortality rates in New York State for bypass surgery � only one other hospital had a lower risk adjusted death rate.
I am extremely proud of the results released in the report by the New York State Department of Health showing our excellent record in bypass surgery,� said Dr. Samuel Lang, chief of cardiothoracic surgery. The report reflects the expertise of our dedicated cardiac surgeons and cardiologists to produce the best possible outcomes for all of our patients.�
St. Vincent�s Hospital Manhattan offers the most advanced cardiovascular diagnostic and treatment procedures available, including stent grafting, valve replacement surgery, minimally invasive surgery, aortic homograft, and aneurysm repair.
Patients at St. Vincent�s can now undergo off pump beating heart surgery, which is bypass surgery without using the heart-lung machine, but performed while the heart is beating its natural rhythm. This surgery offers a decreased risk for developing complications including reduced risk of bleeding, stroke and kidney failure, reduced psychomotor and cognitive problems, reduced hospital stay and reduced post-operative complications.
