What is minimally invasive heart surgery?
Minimally invasive heart surgery uses smaller incisions and advanced techniques including robotic-assisted or catheter-based procedures to repair valves or treat conditions such as valve disease (mitral/aortic), coronary artery disease, atrial septal defects (holes) and arrhythmias (AFib) repair with greater precision.
