About Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery
Minimally invasive cardiac surgery operates through small incisions between the ribs rather than splitting the breastbone, which can mean less pain, less blood loss and faster recovery for suitable patients.
Not everyone is suitable, and the technique requires an experienced team. Ask your surgeon about the options and their experience.
