Procedures
Every procedure can be performed via a conventional, minimally invasive, or robotic approach — the indication is always individualized.
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)
Treatment of coronary artery disease through bypass grafts, restoring blood flow to the heart muscle. Available in conventional, minimally invasive, and robotic approaches.
Mitral Valve Surgery
Repair or replacement of the mitral valve. When possible, performed via minimally invasive or robotic approach, with a focus on preserving the native valve.
Aortic Valve Surgery
Treatment of aortic valve stenosis or insufficiency, including conventional and minimally invasive options, with discussion of TAVI when indicated.
Aortic Surgery
Treatment of aneurysms and other conditions of the aorta, including the ascending aorta, with an individualized approach based on extent and location.
Correction of Congenital Heart Defects
Surgical correction of congenital heart defects, including bicuspid aortic valve and other malformations, with robotic experience since 2010.
Cardiac Tumor Resection
Removal of cardiac tumors, such as papillary fibroelastoma, with a focus on preserving valve structures when possible through a robotic approach.
Arrhythmia Surgery
Surgical treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, including procedures associated with other structural cardiac surgeries.
Pacemaker and Defibrillator Implantation
Implantation of electronic cardiac devices, including pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), and cardiac resynchronization devices.
Robotic surgery available since 2010
Instituto Poffo is home to the pioneer of robotic cardiac surgery in Latin America. When indicated, the robotic approach is available for several of the procedures listed above.
We offer specialized care in high-complexity cardiovascular surgery and complete surgical treatment for the main cardiac and vascular conditions: • Heart Valve Disease - Valve repair and replacement for the treatment of valve stenosis and insufficiency. • Aortic Disease - Surgery for aneurysms, dissections, and other conditions of the thoracic and abdominal aorta. • Coronary Artery Disease - Myocardial revascularization and saphenous/mammary bypass grafts for coronary artery disease. • Intracardiac Tumors - Safe and precise resection of primary and secondary cardiac tumors. • Congenital Heart Disease - Surgical correction of congenital heart defects in children, adolescents, and adults. Care delivered with advanced technology and an experienced team focused on safety and the best possible outcomes for each patient. Request a consultation for your evaluation.
