During minimally invasive heart surgery, our surgeons make tiny chest incisions to access your heart through openings between the ribs. This approach is less invasive than traditional open-heart surgery, in which surgeons open the chest to access the heart.Benefits include:
- No opening of the chest or cutting of bones
- Faster recovery
- Less pain
- Lower risk of complications
- Decreased blood loss and need for blood transfusion
- Minimal scarring
- Shorter hospital stay
