Meet Fernando Lamounier, MD. He is the
lead cardiothoracic surgeon at the Centegra
Heart Center. He consults with cardiologists
and physicians to evaluate each patient's
diagnosis and determine the best treatment plan.
Sandra Nebel, a 65-year-old mother and grandmother, chose to have her open-heart surgery at Centegra Hospital - McHenry. She wanted to stay close to home so that her family would be able to be at her bedside day and night. She was confident in her choice and commented, "The care here is amazing!"
Centegra partners with Cardiac Surgery Associates (CSA), a leader in comprehensive cardiothoracic surgery. CSA is the largest heart surgery group in Illinois. Each year, CSA surgeons perform more than 7,000 cardiac procedures, including 3,600 open heart surgeries - more than any other practice in the state. All CSA physicians are board certified by the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Thoracic Surgery.
Cardiac Surgery Associates team members include experts in aortic surgery, researchers in all areas of cardiothoracic disorders and medical university professors. CSA advanced cardiac care procedures include:
"I told my kids, 'it's my decision and I'm
staying right here, close to home.' I've
had serious surgeries in the past.
This was the most life-threatening, yet
I experienced the best recovery.
The care here is amazing."
