Patient Successfully Undergoes Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

Edward Higgins is “feeling great” merely weeks after having coronary artery bypass surgery—a procedure that may have saved his life—at Bayfront Health Port Charlotte. Bayfront Health Port Charlotte is home to the longest running heart care program in Charlotte County. Three years prior, Higgins began having difficulty breathing. His doctor ordered a stress test, and subsequently was referred for a cardiac cath. He was suffering from coronary artery disease, a narrowing of his artery, which was confirmed by the cath. A stent (small mesh tube that expands) was placed to help restore the blood flow that was previously restricted. Everything went well for the next few years until Higgins once again began having difficulty catching his breath. This is where he begins his story.
