Some of the most advanced equipment and techniques anywhere are available at Providence Regional's Heart Center. Our surgeons perform some of the most complicated arterial bypass and valve procedures available.
And, our surgeons perform a remarkable laser surgery alternative to treat chronic angina called TMR, or Transmyocardial Revascularization. There are only two programs of this kind in the Puget Sound area. It is believed that this unique approach creates small channels in the heart muscle wall, allowing increased blood flow and stimulated arterial growth, therefore reducing debilitating angina pain.
Providence Regional surgeons also offer the Maze procedure. This surgical treatment cures atrial fibrillation by interrupting the electrical signals causing the arrhythmia.
