Types of Heart Surgeries
Heart surgery is any procedure involving the repair of the heart, valves, and arteries. It can be open (traditional) or minimally invasive.
Open heart surgery is performed by making an incision in the chest. A heart-lung bypass machine is then connected, which performs the work of the heart and lungs during the procedure.
Minimally invasive surgeries use advanced robotic tools and require smaller incisions. This allows for faster healing and recovery.
