Cardiovascular Surgery

Our Cardiovascular Surgery department focuses on evaluating heart and vascular diseases that may require surgical treatment and planning appropriate care.

Coronary artery disease, heart valve disease, arterial and venous problems, varicose veins and peripheral vascular disease are among the department’s main areas of care.

At Koza Health Group Cardiovascular Surgery, the existing condition, cardiovascular risk factors and overall health status are assessed together. When needed, multidisciplinary collaboration with Cardiology and other specialties helps determine the appropriate treatment approach and plan follow-up after treatment.
