About Me

David CC Yang. MD
Email: yycoolj@gmail.com

I am a cardiovascular surgeon with 15 years of clinical experience. I have received full cardiac surgery training in the General Veteran Hospital in Taiwan, and advanced training at an internationally renowned heart center. 

I specialize in adult heart surgery (cardiovascular bypass surgery, heart valve surgery, As well as the treatment of aortic dissection and aortic aneurysm), so far, there are more than 500 cases of heart surgery and aortic surgery experience. 

In addition, I started a cardiac surgery team in a local hospital in Miaoli, DaChen Hospital , in 2020 and successfully performed the first aortic dissection operation in Miaoli County and the first open heart surgery in that hospital, and established the only cardiac surgery team currently capable of "ECMO" in Miaoli.

In addition to open heart surgery, I also specialize in "endovascular treatment", including "varicose vein treatment", "vascular intervention/balloon angioplasty", "Dialysis access treatment", etc., totaling more than 3000 cases experience.

Among the cardiac surgeons, I am one of the few physicians who have the successful practice experience of "medical centers, regional hospitals, and local hospitals", and have successfully performed heart operations in three different levels of hospitals. 

I am good at using the least resources to make the best medical results, so that local people can enjoy the convenience of medical treatment while being able to receive treatment comparable to the medical center.
