Heart disease claims more lives than the next 7 leading causes of death
combined. More women die from heart disease than from breast cancer.
Aurora is dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease.
Led by Aurora St. Luke's Medical
Center, we offer the latest technology and procedures, while focusing on the individual
needs of patients.
We performed the nation's 1st atrial fibrillation ablation combining
arrhythmia mapping and ultrafast CT imaging technology
We performed Wisconsin's 1st beating heart valve repair surgery
We performed the Midwest's 1st closed-chest coronary bypass surgery with
robotic surgical system
We became the nation's 1st hospital to use microwave ablation to treat

St. Luke's is recognized as
one of the top cardiac care centers in the U.S. More cardiac surgeries, heart
transplants, cardiac catheterizations and angioplasties are performed here than
at any other hospital in Wisconsin. All Aurora facilities benefit from the
expertise at St. Luke's, including learning best practices, professional
consultations or referrals for especially difficult cases.
