Finally, there's an easier way in and out of openheart surgery. Minimally invasive surgery is now being used for a number of heart procedures, including certain coronary artery bypasses and valve repairs. The result? Less trauma and a faster recovery. And it's being done at the one area hospital with the academic difference. University Hospital. Why would you go anywhere else?

In addition to offering the region's most advanced approaches to cardiac surgery—including minimally invasive coronary artery bypass and valve repair—University Hospital routinely handles the most complicated cardiac cases in the central New York region, often treating patients who have been turned away by other hospitals.
It is the only hospital to treat the defective hearts of infants and children and is among the top ten hospitals in the state for coronary artery bypass surgery.
In a recent outcomes comparison, University Hospital's cardiovascular surgery program showed mortality rates as low as 30 percent below the average national risk-adjusted levels.
