Cardiovascular Surgery
Cardiovascular surgery, also known as cardiac surgery or heart surgery, refers to any surgical procedure involving the heart or the blood vessels that carry blood to and from the heart.
CMC was the site of the first beating heart surgery in northern New England in 1996. Today, we are one of the region's busiest center's for beating heart surgery, performing more than 90 percent of heart bypass surgeries performed on a beating heart without the use of a heart-lung machine.
