Cardiac Procedures
Getting a heart-related health diagnosis and recommendation for cardiac surgery can be scary. We’re here to help. The clinical staff at the Mercy St. V's knows that a well-informed patient is an empowered patient. That’s why we provide the following information about the minimally-invasive procedures our cardiothoracic surgeons are able to perform using the state-of-the-art daVinci® surgical system. Robotic-assisted surgery offers numerous advantages to both surgeon and patient including:
- elimination of heart-lung bypass machine during surgery
- improved clinical outcomes
- shorter hospital stay
- lower risk of wound infection
- less post-operative pain
- less blood loss during surgery
- less scarring
- shorter overall operative time
- lower rate of post-operative complications
- faster return to normal daily activities
