What Is Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery?
Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS) is a modern surgical technique used to treat a range of heart conditions through small incision heart surgery rather than the traditional full sternotomy (large chest incision). Specialized instruments, enhanced visualization, and in select cases robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery, allow the surgeon to access and repair the heart with the same accuracy as open surgery — with less physical trauma to the patient.
MICS is used across several procedures, including valve repair, bypass surgery, and structural heart defect correction, and is suitable for carefully selected patients following a detailed cardiac evaluation.
