Tri Fold Hide

Minimally Invasive and No-Scar heart surgery has revolutionized the way we take care of heart patients. Unfortunately, many heart centers still lag behind in adopting these new, highly effective minimally invasive heart surgery techniques. In spite of the great progress that has been made in the field of "low impact" heart surgery, most patients and their physicians do not research and find out about their best options before they go ahead with their needed operation. It is amazing how most patients would shop longer for a pair of shoes than for the right heart surgeon and heart operation for them. I hope this article will help readers become informed consumers in this field.

There are two basic ways to be minimally invasive in heart surgery:

1. We can avoid the use of the heart-lung machine and perform a coronary artery bypass on the "beating heart"
2. We can avoid using the customary 12-inch long incision of the breast bone and use tiny chest incisions on the side of the chest instead

First point. Coronary bypass surgery can now be performed without stopping the heart. We use a specially designed stabilizer that immobilizes the coronary vessel to be bypassed while the rest of the heart beats undisturbed. The end result is an accurately executed operation with less bleeding, less water retention and a faster recovery because we avoided the use of the heart-lung machine. This minimally invasive heart surgery technique can be applied to the majority of patients. A good question to ask your doctor is: "Could I have my coronary surgery done on the beating heart? What percentage of your coronary patients is actually operated on with this technique? An experienced surgeon can easily perform more than 90% of his coronary bypass operations on the beating heart.

Second point. The majority of heart surgery procedures can be performed through a tiny 2" incision in between two ribs. In our female patients the incision is completely hidden in the skin fold underneath the breast with an excellent cosmetic and truly scarless result. These minimally invasive heart surgery techniques are routinely applied to surgery on the aortic valve, mitral valve, coronary bypass, atrial septal defect and atrial myxoma. Most patients enjoy a quick, painless recovery and return home in two - three days. They will never have any scar to hide or to be conscious about when they wear a blouse or an evening gown. Do not be shy about it. It is your body and your heart! Ask your doctors about these techniques. I hope you never need minimally invasive heart surgery but if you do, know your best options before you make your choice.
