Heart port surgery is also known as minimally invasive heart surgery or port-access cardiac surgery. This procedure is performed through small incisions on the chest using a catheter, a video camera for visualization, and other advanced medical instruments Heart port surgery is performed with visual aids, eliminating the need for a large incision, as in traditional open-heart surgery. The surgical instruments are inserted through small ports in the chest cavity. The surgeon uses a camera- guidance to get a magnified view of the heart, enabling precise surgery.
Heart port surgery can treat various heart conditions, including coronary artery disease (CAD) requiring bypass grafts, valve repair or replacement, atrial septal defect (ASD) or ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure, and some congenital heart defects.
Heart port surgery falls into the category of minimally invasive heart surgery. The recovery process after heart port surgery is generally faster than open-heart surgery. Patients need to stay in the hospital for a few days for close monitoring. They are then discharged under the proper guidance and medical prescription of the healthcare team. Regular follow-up sessions are scheduled to ensure proper recovery. Post-discharge, patients are advised to follow their surgeon's instructions for wound care, medication, and activity restrictions. Full recovery may take several weeks, depending on the patient's medical condition and other parameters like age and overall health.
