Minimally Invasive Heart Surgery
Minimally invasive surgery refers to a variety of surgical techniques designed to decrease the impact of open heart surgery on a patient. The primary goal of minimally invasive heart surgery is to utilize a smaller operating window, which results in decreased scar size, less pain, and shorter recovery time after surgery. These techniques frequently involve the use of cutting-edge technologies that have only recently become available.
Our surgeons utilize minimally invasive techniques with the following surgical procedures:
- Minimally invasive coronary bypass surgery
- Robotic assisted heart valve surgery
- Minimally invasive atrial fibrillation surgery
- Endoscopic vein harvesting
Our surgeons attempt to perform minimally invasive surgery whenever technically possible and in the best interest of the patient. They continually train with the newest technologies so that if a patient is a candidate for minimally invasive heart surgery, our surgeons have the technical skill and experience to perform the operation.
Although there are advantages to minimally invasive heart surgery, many patients are not candidates due to additional medical problems. In addition, many procedures have the best outcome with a traditional open heart technique. To determine if you are a candidate for minimally invasive heart surgery, please contact us to set up a consultation with one of our surgeons.
