OPEN HEART – OUTSTANDING RESULTS
Porter delivers outstanding results for heart patients undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass procedures:

On a very selective patient population, Porter offers off-pump or done "beating heart" only specially trained CV surgeons can perform this off pump surgery.

The benefits of having open heart surgery done at Porter:

A reduced length of stay. In fact, Porter’s "stay" rate averages 1-1/2 days less than the STS average.

Reduced risk of complications.

Porter’s patients:

• are off the ventilator sooner than most hospitals. In fact, just 5% are on a ventilator for 24 hours or more – compared to the STS average of 9.2%

• experience 1/3 fewer complications than the STS national average.

• all attend Cardiac Rehabilitation after discharge – exceeding the STS average of only 79.2% of patients.

• have not had a deep substernal infection in more than five years

 

 

 

Our successful outcomes are the combination of the newest technology, skilled professionals, and extensive experience. Read more......

 

   

Close to half of us are missing opportunities to improve our heart health because of undiagnosed conditions. Don’t add to that statistic, schedule your screening today.
