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
