Cardiac Surgery

314 Martin Luther King Jr Way, Tacoma, WA

Dr. Keith Havenstrite is a cardiac surgery specialist in Tacoma, WA. He is a graduate of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School.

"Dr Havenstrite selflessly gave a full day of his life performing bypass surgery to save my husband. Odds were stacked very much against us, but Dr. Havenstrite gave us all he had and more. Even now, when my husband's life is still precariously in the balance, I can tell you that you will never meet a more human, thoughtful, and meticulous surgeon as this man. Many cardiac specialists have already told us HE is who they would have do their own surgeries. Although in a crisis, you may not remember everything he says, he will not sugar-coat things and tells you exactly what you are facing -and he talks to YOU- right there in that moment. Dr. Havenstrite is a dedicated, exceptionally skilled, and talented surgeon. His hands are pure magic."

What is Cardiothoracic Surgery?

Cardiothoracic surgery is the medical specialty that provides surgical care for the chest. Most often this means heart or lung surgery, but it can also include surgery on the esophagus, breastbone, or chest wall. Some cardiothoracic surgeons may specialize in the surgical treatment of children, or focus on a specific organ or surgical procedure.

Some of the diseases and procedures that a cardiothoracic surgeon might handle include:

Coronary artery disease
Heart valve surgery
Lung cancer
Cancer of the esophagus
GERD, or severe acid reflux
Heart or lung transplants

Cardiothoracic surgeons may use various types of imaging, such as an electrocardiogram or CT scan, to diagnose problems and plan the operation. They may also offer minimally invasive surgery or robotic surgery, if appropriate, to lower the risk of scarring and infection.

Cardiothoracic surgery is an older medical specialty, but it is still one of the most amazing. Often patients who need a cardiothoracic surgeon are extremely sick, suffering from an illness that will kill them without intervention. With surgery, however, they often make a complete recovery.
