Our doctors offer cardiac care so advanced, bypass surgery can often be bypassed Advocate Lutheran General Hospital provides a range of cardiac care therapies unmatched by any other area hospital.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States.
That's why Lutheran General Hospital is helping to pioneer dramatic new advances in cardiac care, including treatment options that may help you avoid heart surgery. Lutheran General is one of the first hospitals in the Midwest performing coronary radiation. This leading edge procedure helps eliminate the recurrence of arterial blockages after angioplasty without resorting to surgery. We are also employing the latest drug therapies to reduce cholesterol and minimize the debilitating effects of congestive heart failure. This innovative procedure reduces some of the risks of cardiac surgery, and also makes surgery possible for high-risk patients who would not have been candidates in the past.
