Staying abreast of advanced technology

These options allow surgeons to perform complex surgery on high-risk patients who might not otherwise be eligible for open heart surgery.

Minimally invasive heart surgery requires smaller incisions, which may also benefit patients:

  • Shorter hospital stay
  • Less blood loss
  • Less pain after surgery
  • Less (and smaller) scarring
  • Quicker return to normal activity
  • Fewer complications
