Heart and vascular surgery
If your heart or blood vessels have been damaged — by conditions such as heart failure or congenital heart abnormalities — cardiovascular surgeons work to repair them. They may use traditional surgery or minimally invasive approaches, which can enable a faster recovery for you.

Robotic-assisted heart surgery
If you need heart surgery and are a candidate for laparoscopic surgery (minimally invasive surgery), you may also qualify for a robotic-assisted surgery.
Benefits of robotic-assisted surgery include:
- Small incisions for quicker healing and less scarring
- A 3D view inside your body
- Instruments that bend and rotate far greater than the human hand
- Enhanced vision, precision and control
