Innovation at the Frankel Cardiovascular Center pushes the boundaries of what is possible and shapes a better future for cardiovascular patient care.

This afternoon, we celebrated 25 years of innovation – exploring our center’s the past, present and future. We honored trailblazers, educators, mentors and pioneers. We also welcomed back Dr. Salim Hayek, adjunct faculty at U-M and current chief transformation officer at The University of Texas Medical Branch, for a fireside chat.

Here’s to 25 more years of breakthrough discoveries and progress!

In March 2023, a team from the Frankel CVC traveled to Zambia, where they guided a cardiac surgical team at National Heart Hospital through numerous complex heart operations, including the country's first total aortic arch replacement.

Our teams returned to Zambia several times and also traveled to Bangladesh, where they worked through additional procedures.

In 2021, UM Health-West and Trinity Health launched a joint venture, the Cardiovascular Network of West Michigan. Powered by the expertise of the Frankel Cardiovascular Center the move greatly increased access to world-class cardiovascular care in the Grand Rapids area.

Since October 2022, the program has completed more than 400 open-heart surgeries and continues to grow with advanced procedures like TAVR and other structural heart interventions.

For patients with acute type B aortic dissection, the standard-of-care therapy is thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).However, offering TEVAR for patients with chronic type B dissections comes with additional challenges.

To combat this, a team led by Drs. Shinichi Fukuhara and Minhajuddin Khaja introduced laser technology into the field in 2019. Their novel laser fenestration is among the least invasive TEVAR approaches to treat chronic aortic dissection, leading to some of the best outcomes for these procedures.
