The man sitting across from me had traveled a long way from Saudi Arabia. He needed heart valve surgery. He could have had traditional surgery at home, but he wanted to know if we could fix his valve without the pain of breaking his breastbone. I told him we could – with minimally invasive heart valve surgery.
Unfortunately, way too many people don’t know about minimally invasive heart valve surgery. This is, in part, for two reasons: these procedures are fairly uncommon in most centers, so only a few doctors perform them, and they are highly complex surgeries that are only performed at a handful of centers across the country. This approach is so rare that fewer than 1% of aortic valve surgeries worldwide are performed this way, as well as fewer than 20% of mitral valve surgeries.
At UT Southwestern, minimally invasive heart valve surgeries take less time to complete than the traditional operation, and patients generally have fewer complications and are often fully recovered in as few as 10 days, compared to six to eight weeks after traditional surgery. Because their sternum is not split, pain management after surgery is a lot less complicated. At our center, the average length of stay after surgery is only three days, which means patients can get back to work and resume normal activities that much sooner. Our patients also benefit from much smaller, less noticeable scarring as a result of a 2-inch incision compared to the much larger scar from traditional open surgery.
