Compared with traditional open-heart surgery, this technique may offer reduced pain, smaller scars, lower infection risk, and a faster return to everyday activities in appropriately selected patients.

Mohammed Idhrees, Senior Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgeon with over 18 years of experience, offers advanced minimally invasive cardiac procedures for valve disease, congenital heart defects, selected coronary artery disease, and other complex heart conditions using modern evidence-based surgical techniques.
