It provides cardiac and respiratory support to patients whose heart and lungs are not working properly and are unable to sustain life. ECMO is often a last option for patients who have serious lung or heart failure…
Learn MoreChronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI)
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) occurs when the venous wall and/or valves in the leg veins are not working properly, making it difficult for blood to return to the heart from the legs.

Coronary angioplasty is used to open clogged heart arteries. Angioplasty uses a tiny balloon catheter that is inserted in a blocked blood vessel to help widen it and improve blood flow to the heart. Angioplasty can improve symptoms of blocked arteries, such as chest pain and shortness of breath.
Learn MoreEndoscopic Vein Harvesting
Prior to performing bypass surgery, a Deborah® cardiothoracic surgeon determines what type of blood vessels are needed to create the bypass graft. Surgeons may opt to choose arteries from a patient’s chest (mammary or thoracic arteries), arm (radial artery), or veins in the legs (saphenous vein).
