Heart Bypass Surgery (CABG) in Ohio: What to Know
Ohio offers exceptional heart bypass surgery (CABG) options. Cleveland Clinic's Miller Family Heart, Vascular & Thoracic Institute performed 1,821 CABG procedures in 2022, attracting nearly 40% of patients from out-of-state. University Hospitals (UH) Harrington Heart & Vascular Institute in Cleveland is a top-volume program for minimally invasive CABG (MIDCAB) and began offering robotic heart bypass in December 2023. Additionally, OSU Wexner Medical Center's Ross Heart Hospital provides unique anaortic, total arterial, off-pump CABG.
For potential cost savings, consider facilities like Mount Carmel Health System, known for its high volume of beating heart (off-pump) surgeries, which can sometimes reduce recovery time. While CABG is typically an inpatient procedure not performed in Ambulatory Surgical Centers, exploring different hospital systems within Ohio's major cities like Columbus or Canton could reveal varied pricing structures. Verify current pricing directly with providers.
