Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery
We specialize in Minimally Invasive Cardiac surgery, or MICS, offering patients a safer alternative to traditional methods. MICS is heart surgery without cutting the breastbone or sternum. In fact, no bones are cut in MICS. Other names for this type of surgery include minimally invasive heart surgery or keyhole heart surgery.
The Art of Healing the Heart
We believe that every heart deserves the utmost care and precision. Our dedicated team of experts is committed to pioneering techniques that not only enhance recovery but also ensure a seamless journey towards better heart health. With MICS, we embrace innovation and compassion.
