At Apollo Hospital, Heart Port Surgery is performed using specialised minimally invasive cardiac surgical techniques and comprehensive preoperative cardiovascular assessment. Established in 1983, this JCI accredited hospital in Chennai, India has 550 beds and offers advanced cardiac and cardiothoracic surgical services.

Heart Port Surgery may be considered for appropriately selected patients who require cardiac surgery via smaller access points in the chest. The surgeon uses specialised instruments and may use a camera-assisted system to access and operate on the heart. Patient selection depends on the type of cardiac condition, anatomy, overall health, previous surgeries, and the complexity of the required procedure. Imaging and cardiovascular evaluation are generally performed before surgery to determine the most suitable approach.
