Minimally Invasive Structural Heart Care

Structural heart disease can occur when there is a defect in the heart’s valves. Heart valves such as the mitral valve work like one-way gates, helping blood flow properly between the heart’s chambers or in and out of the heart. When the mitral valve doesn’t close tightly, blood can leak backward into the upper chamber. This is a condition known as mitral regurgitation (MR). A leaky heart valve causes your heart to work harder and can lead to heart failure.

Why Choose Robotic-Assisted Mitral Valve Repair?

• Robotic-assisted surgeries are highly precise
• Procedures are performed through small incisions, which can help minimize scarring
• Promotes shorter hospital stay and recovery time
• Reduces the risk of infection
• Faster return to daily activity, including sports and exercise

Are You a Candidate for Robotic-Assisted Valve Replacement?

If you have an active lifestyle and want minimum down time so you can get back to life faster, you may be a candidate.

You may be a candidate if you:

• Are in good physical condition and maintain an active lifestyle
• Need mitral valve repair or replacement
• Have an ASD which requires surgical closure
• Have a mass in the heart
