da Vinci® Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery in Dallas, TX
Minimally Invasive, Robot-Assisted Heart Surgery in North Texas
If your doctor recommends surgery to treat a cardiac condition such as severe coronary artery disease (CAD) to ease your symptoms and reduce your risk of a heart attack, you may be a candidate for minimally invasive da Vinci heart surgery. This revolutionary robotic system enables surgeons to operate with 3D-high definition vision and unmatched precision and control.
Experience the Benefits of Robotic Heart Surgery
Traditionally, open heart surgery requires a sternotomy, which requires the doctor to cut through the breastbone through an 8-to-10 inch incision and spread the patient’s ribs to gain access the heart.
With da Vinci heart surgery, the robotic heart surgeons at Methodist Health System can avoid the risks and complications associated with a sternotomy by making small incisions made between the ribs. da Vinci robotic heart surgery also avoids the need for a heart-lung machine and its potential risks and complications.
There are several other potential benefits of da Vinci coronary artery bypass surgery over traditional 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
As with any surgery, these benefits cannot be guaranteed, as surgery is patient and procedure specific.
