Minimally Invasive Surgery for Heart Valve Replacement:
Repair Your Heart, Live Your Life
In the past, open heart surgery for heart valve repair required opening the patient’s chest. Today, world-class surgeons at Baylor College of Medicine use minimally invasive techniques to make small “keyhole” incisions, which result in shorter surgeries, reduced hospital stays, faster healing and minimal scarring. As members of a health sciences university, our surgeons continue to perfect minimally invasive procedures as well as look at the future of cardiac care.

Heart valve disease occurs when your heart no longer works efficiently to pump blood to your body because a valve no longer opens or closes properly.
