Minimally invasive heart surgery: Faster healing, less trauma for patients
Elise Riley, for Parrish Medical Center
If the five most welcome words in medicine are “The test results were negative,” there is most definitely a runner up: “It’s a minimally invasive procedure.”
In the world of cardiac medicine, minimally invasive procedures have changed just about everything. Instead of surgically opening a patient’s chest to investigate and repair, surgeons can complete previously complicated procedures through tiny incisions, using state-of-the-art instruments that would impress even the Jetsons.
“Minimally invasive procedures are preferred by patients and practitioners alike because they are proven to result in better overall patient outcomes; less pain and faster recovery,” said Dr. Biju Mathews, board-certified interventional cardiologist and Medical Director of Parrish Healthcare’s cardiovascular services.
