The creation of the Cardiovascular Surgery service of the Favaloro Foundation was the main reason for the return of Dr. René G. Favaloro to Argentina in the 1970s. At the Cleveland Clinic (United States), Dr. Favaloro had developed the surgery of aortocoronary bypass, among other advances for the treatment of heart diseases, and he returned to provide assistance, teaching and intestinal examination in his country.
Since then, and particularly since 1992 - the year in which the current headquarters of the Favaloro Foundation was inaugurated - this service, a pioneer in numerous techniques of cardiovascular surgery, has carried out intense work, with results comparable to the best centers in the world. Thus, it stands out for its great experience in the wide spectrum of techniques covered by the specialty, as well as for being a reference center in the continuous training of cardiovascular surgeons not only in Argentina, but also in many other countries in the world, in special from Latin America.
The optimal results, the product of a multidisciplinary approach to the discipline, demonstrate the permanent teamwork supported by advanced technological equipment, medical excellence and human warmth.
STAFF OF SPECIALISTS
The Cardiovascular Surgery surgical team of the Favaloro Foundation is made up of professionals with extensive experience. All were trained by Dr. René G. Favaloro and have significant experience in conventional techniques of cardiovascular surgery and, in turn, have different specializations in advanced techniques for various heart diseases.
EXTRACORPOREAL CIRCULATION
Extracorporeal circulation is one of the pillars of the success of cardiovascular surgery. The role of the heart-lung machine is to replace the work of the heart and lungs during the time the heart surgery is being performed. The Favaloro Foundation has the most experienced group of extracorporeal circulation technicians in the country, who, together with modern equipment, manage to supplant these vital organs during the surgical act.
