What Is Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery?

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS) is a surgical approach that uses smaller chest incisions instead of a traditional open-heart incision for selected procedures. The aim is to provide the required heart treatment while choosing the most suitable surgical approach for the patient’s condition.

Who May Benefit From MICS?

MICS is not suitable for every patient. It may be considered when the patient’s heart condition, anatomy and required procedure make this approach appropriate. Suitability depends on:
  • Type of heart condition
  • Imaging and test results
  • Previous procedures
  • Overall health
A cardiac surgeon evaluates each case to determine whether minimally invasive surgery is suitable.

Benefits of Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery

For suitable patients, MICS may offer advantages such as:
  • Smaller surgical incisions
  • Reduced tissue disruption
  • Less visible scarring
  • Potentially easier recovery
The main priority remains selecting the safest and most effective approach for the individual patient.

Procedures That May Use Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery

MICS may be considered for selected cardiac procedures, including:

Minimally Invasive Valve Surgery

Some valve repair or replacement procedures may be performed through smaller surgical access when appropriate.

Minimally Invasive Coronary Surgery

Certain coronary procedures, including selected bypass approaches, may be evaluated for a minimally invasive technique.

Other Selected Cardiac Procedures

The use of MICS depends on the required operation, heart anatomy and the patient's individual condition.
