Bypass Surgery

Treatment in Florida

Treatment Team

The cardiac surgery team at Mayo Clinic in Florida offers high-quality, comprehensive diagnosis and surgical care to adolescent and adult patients who have heart diseases and abnormalities.

Surgeons do bypass surgery on and off "the pump," the heart-lung bypass machine. Leg veins used for the bypass are usually removed endoscopically via tiny incisions, reducing the patient's discomfort and easing recovery. Bypass surgery is done to detour around coronary artery blockages that cannot be successfully treated with medication or heart catheterization with angioplasty.

The Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Program helps patients improve their quality of life and health after surgery.

Bypass surgery involves specialists in Cardiothoracic Surgery and Cardiovascular Diseases.
