Get a Second Opinion
If you've been told you need heart surgery, you deserve to know all your options. Dr. Bleszynski specializes in minimally invasive alternatives that many cardiologists don't offer.
You May Have Minimally Invasive Options
Many patients referred for open heart surgery are actually candidates for catheter-based procedures with faster recovery and less risk.
Were you told you need open heart surgery for aortic valve replacement?
Alternative: TAVR may be an option — a minimally invasive valve replacement through a small incision in the leg.
Has mitral valve surgery been recommended?
Alternative: MitraClip can repair the valve without open surgery, with shorter recovery and less risk for many patients.
Struggling with blood thinners or told you need to take them for life?
Alternative: The Watchman device can eliminate the need for long-term blood thinners while protecting against stroke.
Told you need bypass surgery for blocked arteries?
Alternative: Many patients can be treated with stenting (PCI) instead of surgery. Complex blockages may also be treatable.
Were you told a blocked artery cannot be opened?
Alternative: CTO specialists can often open completely blocked arteries that others consider untreatable.
Diagnosed with a hole in the heart after a stroke?
Alternative: These defects can be closed with a minimally invasive catheter-based procedure, avoiding open heart surgery.
Why Seek a Second Opinion?
Not All Cardiologists Offer the Same Options
Many cardiologists don't perform structural heart procedures like TAVR or MitraClip. They may recommend surgery simply because they don't offer the alternatives.
Training and Volume Matter
Dr. Bleszynski completed fellowship at University of Rochester with exceptional procedural volume — 450+ PCIs, 100+ TAVRs. This level of training translates to better outcomes.
Technology is Advancing Rapidly
Minimally invasive heart procedures have expanded dramatically in recent years. Treatments that weren't available even 5 years ago may now be options for you.
Your Peace of Mind Matters
Making a decision about heart treatment is stressful. A second opinion can confirm your current path or reveal alternatives you weren't aware of.
