Open Heart Surgery in Oregon: What to Know
Oregon offers top-tier open-heart surgery options. OHSU in Portland is recognized as a Cardiac Center of Excellence, pioneering treatments like the first West Coast Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR). For high volume, Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center in Medford has performed over 21,100 open-heart surgeries since 1973 and is a national top cardiovascular hospital. Salem Hospital boasts the lowest readmission rates and shortest stays for cardiac surgery patients in Oregon.
Given the complexity, open-heart surgery is always performed in a hospital. While Oregon's average cost is higher than the national average, consider facilities like Salem Hospital for potentially shorter stays, which can influence overall costs. For less invasive valve replacements, St. Charles Bend Campus performs TAVRs. Verify current pricing directly with providers.
