Lee Health's Cardiothoracic Surgery program in Southwest Florida offers advanced care for heart and lung conditions, delivered by nationally recognized experts at the Shipley Cardiothoracic Center in Fort Myers. Our team specializes in complex procedures, including open-heart surgery, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), heart valve repair and replacement, lung cancer surgery, and minimally invasive approaches like robotic-assisted surgery and transcatheter valve therapies such as TAVR and MitraClip. We treat a wide range of cardiothoracic conditions, including coronary artery disease, heart valve disorders, atrial fibrillation, thoracic tumors, and aortic aneurysms. Our surgeons work closely with cardiologists, pulmonologists, anesthesiologists, and rehabilitation specialists to ensure every patient receives coordinated, personalized care.
