UM Health-Sparrow's surgeons are highly trained and board-certified to provide advanced treatment options for heart, lung, esophageal, mediastinal, chest wall, and blood vessel surgeries in the Mid-Michigan region.

• Thoracic aortic aneurysm/dissection repair.
• Anti-arrhythmic procedures (Cox-Maze, Convergent, LAAL).

UM Health-Sparrow has an advanced thoracic surgical program that can manage/treat benign and malignant (cancer) conditions, including minimally invasive/robotic approaches, such as:

• Lung lobectomy and sub-lobar resection.
• Pneumonectomy.
• Pleurectomy and pleurodesis.
• Mediastinal nodes/masses biopsy and resection.
• Chest wall resection.
• Rib fixation and plating.

The primary goal of vascular surgical treatment is to restore blood flow and maintain adequate circulation. Our dedicated vascular surgeons can provide advanced surgical techniques (open and transcatheter) for complex issues like vascular injuries, blockages, lesions, and aneurysms, as well as various limb salvage interventions, AV fistula for dialysis, and vein clinic.
