The Cardiogenic Shock Program is a comprehensive program that quickly brings together a multidisciplinary team of cardiac care experts in areas such as critical care, heart failure, interventional cardiology and cardiac surgery to care for critically sick patients.

“We have 24/7 access to surgical procedures, including coronary artery bypass surgery, surgery to repair an injury to the heart valves and the aorta, and ventricular assist device support,” Henry Tannous, MD, co-director of the institute, said in a July 27 news release.

The Stony Brook Cardiogenic Shock Program is one of only a few such programs across the nation.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
