  1. Minimal cutting & blood loss : First and foremost is the fact that no bones are cut. This has several advantages in reducing pain, retaining function and having a positive effect on breathing. Unlike traditional heart surgery return to normal including driving or other activities is not disrupted and can be started almost immediately. Also blood loss is almost negligible eliminating blood transfusion in most and eliminating blood born infection.
  2. Reduced Infection Rate : Second all infections are reduced whether it be wound infections or post surgical lung infection. This makes the procedure ideal in diabetics and older patients who have poor resistance to infection.
  3. Minimal Scarring : Third, the incision is so cosmetic and measures just 2-3 inches that it’s practically impossible to tell that a heart operation has been done.
