Cardiovascular careatUTMB.


It’s about getting your lifeback.


John always enjoyed fishing with the guys and dancing with his wife. Coronary bypass surgery at age 42 did not stop either activity.Then 17 years later, he knew something was not right.


Tests confirmed John’s suspicions. The only option appeared to be getting on a heart pump and waiting for a transplant, but the cardiovascular team at UTMB Health saw another way. They recommended an aggressive bypass graft procedure. John benefited fromthe work of skilled specialists, subspecialists, surgeons, nurses, and technicians. These are gifted clinicians who teach others their art, using the very latest technology and techniques. Today John has his full life back.


Cardiovascular care at UTMB is state of the art and comprehensive, from heart rhythm studies to bypass to transplants to cardiac rehab.With more than 30 locations throughout Galveston and the Bay Area,we’re also close by, which makes visiting easy and appointments convenient.
