Medical City Heart Hospital earns elite recognition for coronary artery bypass surgery

Dallas, Texas — Medical City Heart Hospital has achieved the elite three-star rating — the highest possible distinction — from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) for excellence in isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This achievement places the hospital among a distinguished group known for superior patient outcomes, surgical expertise and adherence to rigorous clinical standards.

The STS rating is widely regarded as one of the most respected measures of healthcare quality. Scores are based on a multi‑year analysis of risk‑adjusted outcomes, patient safety metrics and compliance with evidence‑based best practices. The most recent evaluation covers July 2022 through June 2025 and assesses key indicators such as survival, complication rates and use of high-quality arterial grafts.

CABG surgery, one of the most common and effective treatments for severe coronary artery disease, improves blood flow to the heart by creating new pathways around blocked arteries.

“Patients and families across North Texas trust us with their lives. The STS three‑star rating reflects our commitment to system wide excellence and innovation,” says Andrea Daniels, CEO of Medical City Heart Hospital. “The dedication, expertise and compassion our team brings to every procedure is why the community turns to us as the destination of choice for heart care.”
