Least Invasive Heart Surgery

Technology has always made healthcare easier and more accessible to the masses. Keeping up with the trend of innovation in healthcare, the latest advent in cardiac surgery is the Least Invasive Surgery. In conventional open-heart surgery, the surgeon makes an incision in the chest and then spreads the ribs to expose the heart. This type of incision is called a sternotomy. However, in least invasive heart surgery, the surgeon makes a smaller incision in the chest. The aortic valve is located near the front of the chest. Surgeons may do this least invasive surgery in different ways. These variations include different ways to:

Bypass the heart with a heart-lung machine
Protect the heart during surgery
Make the incision in the chest to access the heart

Despite these variations, in all other ways the technique for replacing the aortic valve is the same in least invasive surgery as in conventional valve surgery.

What are the potential benefits of least invasive valve replacement surgery?

Less invasive surgery has several benefits over conventional valve replacement surgery. These benefits include:

Less blood loss during surgery
Reduced need for blood transfusions
Reduced chance of irregular heartbeat during surgery
Possibility of removing the breathing tube sooner after surgery
Less pain during recovery from surgery
Shorter hospital stay
A smaller scar
Lower risk of infection
Easier treatment in cases of infection
Quicker recovery and return to previous level of activity
Lower overall risk of complications, including death
