Physicians at Baptist Cardiac & Vascular Institute on the Baptist Hospital campus and at South Miami Hospital's Cardiovascular Program offer comprehensive services to prevent, diagnose and treat cardiovascular disease. In addition to employing traditional approaches, such as open heart, carotid and vascular surgery and balloon angioplasty with stent placement, they also perform minimally invasive techniques that require small incisions and result in a speedier recovery. Other services available include noninvasive vascular and cardiac diagnostic services, such as stress testing, ultrasound and CT scans of the arteries and veins, and a medically supervised cardiovascular rehabilitation program.
Baptist Cardiac & Vascular Institute has gained an international reputation in the medical community through its annual medical symposiums and fellowship opportunities. The Institute's medical staff has pioneered leading-edge clinical research and has helped develop new, less-invasive ways of treating such life-threatening conditions as aortic and thoracic aneurysms and blockages of the carotid artery leading into the brain.
