Surgical Services
 For more than 15 years, the surgical program at Abbott Northwestern and the Minneapolis Heart Institute has been the largest program of its kind in Minnesota and the surrounding region. Cardiovascular Surgery focuses on surgical treatments of diseases of the chest and vascular system. The most common cardiac surgeries are performed to correct problems with the heart valves, or to bypass a narrowed or blocked portion of a coronary artery.

Minneapolis Cardio-Thoracic Surgery Consultants (MCSC) is a physician surgical practice located at Abbott Northwestern Hospital and the Minneapolis Heart Institute, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This surgical practice specializes in the surgical treatment of diseases of the chest and vascular system.
Cooperation with Minneapolis Heart Institute
Established in 2002, the Minneapolis Cardio-Thoracic Surgery Consultants became part of the broader program of cardiology and cardiovascular services at Abbott Northwestern Hospital and the Minneapolis Heart Institute. Consolidating all the services at one location increased comfort for patients and their families while letting physicians give full attention to this nationally-recognized program.
The Minneapolis Cardio-Thoracic Surgery Consultants are strong contributors to the pioneering reputation of the Minneapolis Heart Institute. The cardiothoracic surgeons’ work ranges from the complex surgeries performed every day at Abbott Northwestern Hospital to on-going clinical research – which leads to the development of new surgical techniques and methods. In fact, the sheer number of procedures performed daily by these surgeons sets the Institute apart from most other programs nationally (Please visit Minneapolis Heart Institute Statistics for selected statistics).
Surgeries involving the heart and lungs are of keen interest to the Minneapolis Cardio-Thoracic Surgery Consultants. We’ve gathered at the Minneapolis Heart Institute to further the science of cardiovascular medicine and surgery and, because we love seeing patients improve.
