 Cleveland
Clinic doctors and cardiologists have helped shape the modern era of heart care. Their
first major contribution was the invention of coronary angiography in 1958.
This made it possible to visualize coronary artery blockages and paved the
way for the development of interventional cardiology. The next milestone
was the first coronary artery bypass operation. Developed and refined at
the Cleveland Clinic beginning in 1968, coronary artery bypass has become
the most common heart surgery in the world. Today, the Cleveland Clinic
Heart Center continues this proud tradition of innovation, helping make
the Cleveland Clinic Heart Center the top-ranked heart center in America.
