If you have been told you need coronary artery bypass surgery, ask your doctor about
da Vinci® Surgery for coronary artery disease. This surgery is performed without the need for a heart-lung machine and minimally invasively - through small incisions made between the ribs. This avoids the need for a sternotomy, its associated risks and complications.
da Vinci Surgery for coronary artery disease can also offer several potential benefits over open heart surgery, including:
- Shorter hospital stay
- Less pain and scarring
- Less risk of infection
- Less blood loss and need for blood transfusions
- Faster recovery
- Quicker return to normal activities
