A comprehensive Cardiac Service Unit for Fremantle Hospital and Health Service was completed with the commissioning of a Cardiothoracic Surgery Unit in August 1997.   Fremantle Hospital and Health Service facilities have been upgraded to include two fully equipped cardiothoracic operating theatres, a ward for cardiothoracic pre and post operative patients and Intensive Care Unit beds for the care of post-operative patients.

The service offers a comprehensive range of adult cardiothoracic surgical procedures which include coronary artery by-pass surgery, heart valve repair and replacement and chest and lung surgery. The Cardiothoracic Surgery Unit is augmented by the services of Cardiovascular Medicine and Respiratory Medicine which include:

  • A Cardiac Catheterisation Theatre,

  • A fully equipped Cardiology Testing Unit and a full range of adult respiratory medicine services,
  • Participation in international research projects,
  • Medical staff consisting of two Cardiothoracic Consultant Surgeons, three Cardiothoracic Registrars, and one Resident Medical Officer.
