Lenox Hill Heart and Vascular Institute of New York

Offering one of the finest tertiary cardiovascular care facilities, the Institute couples advanced cardiac treatments with research protocols and medical training programs. The Institute integrates the hospital’s specialties in cardiology, interventional and endovascular cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, vascular surgery and interventional radiology.  From its strong history as the first U.S. hospital to perform an angiography in 1938, to the first U.S. angioplasty in 1978 and the first drug-coated stent in 2001, it continues its innovative approaches to coronary, carotid and peripheral arterial blockages through interventional techniques.  In cardiac surgery, the Institute’s surgeons pioneered minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass surgery (MIDCAB) in the year 1994 and currently advance minimally invasive coronary and valve surgical techniques.  These include the performance of coronary artery bypass surgery off-pump (OPCAB) on a beating heart in over 95% of the cases.
