The aim of launching this surgery at the National Heart Centre is to keep pace with the latest developments in cardiovascular treatment. In this surgical procedure, the incision is being reduced from 20 cm to 7 cm and the patient can return to normal life after one month instead of three months. Complications are also less compared to the previous surgical procedure.
