Minimally invasive cardiovascular surgery
While our surgeons are equipped for traditional, open surgery, we try to utilize minimally invasive procedures whenever possible.

As our priority is getting you back to feeling like yourself in the most efficient and effective way, minimally invasive surgery has emerged as the way of the future towards ensuring success in this pursuit.
Many of the most common heart and vascular surgeries can now be accomplished through minimally invasive means, including:
- Atherectomy
