Minimally invasive surgery

Prisma Health Cardiothoracic Surgery offers minimally invasive cardiovascular and thoracic surgery options to qualified patients, a gentler alternative to an open-chest approach. Performed through smaller incisions using specialized surgical instruments, this approach greatly benefits the patient in terms of less blood loss and decreased pain and discomfort. Recovery time is also quicker, so patients can usually look forward to less time in the hospital. Our practice was the first in the state to perform minimally invasive mitral valve surgery and the first in central South Carolina to perform a thoracic aneurysm repair using an endograft.
