The cardiac surgery program at Ruby Hall Clinic offers the following treatments and procedures:
Aortic surgery
Surgery to repair or replace aortic aneurysms and aortic dissections.
Aortic valve surgery
Surgery to repair or replace an aortic valve that is not working correctly.
Arrhythmia surgery
A surgical procedure to correct irregular heart rhythms such as atrial fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia.
Congenital heart surgery
Corrective surgery to fix or treat a genetic heart defect.
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery
A surgical procedure used in which the blocked portion of the coronary artery is bypassed with another piece of blood vessel.
Heart transplant
A surgical option to treat advanced heart failure, a condition that occurs when the heart can’t pump enough oxygenated blood to meet the needs of the body’s organs.
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD)
A mechanical device which aids in the pumping function of the blood.
Left ventricular remodeling/surgical ventricular restoration
A technique that provides the heart with a more normal shape after a heart attack, allowing it to pump blood more efficiently.
Myectomy/myotomy 
A surgical treatment option that removes a portion of the enlarged heart wall.
Transmyocardial revascularization (TMR)
A procedure used to relieve severe angina or chest pain in patients who aren’t candidates for bypass surgery or angioplasty.
Valvular surgery
Heart valve surgery used to repair or replace diseased heart valves.

Coronary Angiography
Coronary angiography is a test used to find out how much narrowing there is in your arteries. Learn what to expect and when you might get a stent.

What is angiography and how is it done?
Angiography is an imaging test that uses X-rays to view your body’s blood vessels. The X-rays provided by an angiography are called angiograms. This test is used to study narrow, blocked, enlarged, or malformed arteries or veins in many parts of your body, including your brain, heart, abdomen, and legs.

A coronary angiogram is an X-ray of the arteries in the heart. This shows the extent and severity of any heart disease, and can help you to figure out how well your heart is working. With this information, you and your doctor can talk through your treatment options. These may include  angioplasty (stents) ,  bypass graft surgery or medications.

Coronary angioplasty (AN-jee-o-plas-tee), also called percutaneous coronary intervention, is a procedure used to open clogged heart arteries. Angioplasty involves temporarily inserting and inflating a tiny balloon where your artery is clogged to help widen the artery.
Angioplasty is often combined with the permanent placement of a small wire mesh tube called a stent to help prop the artery open and decrease its chance of narrowing again. Some stents are coated with medication to help keep your artery open (drug-eluting stents), while others are not (bare-metal stents).

Angioplasty can improve symptoms of blocked arteries, such as chest pain and shortness of breath. Angioplasty can also be used during a heart attack to quickly open a blocked artery and reduce the amount of damage to your heart.
