Choosing IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele for Closed Heart Surgery gives patients access to experienced cardiac surgeons, advanced cardiovascular imaging, pediatric intensive care facilities, and structured postoperative management. Established in 1971, the SSN accredited hospital in milan, Italy has 1350 beds and provides specialised congenital and cardiothoracic surgical services.

Closed Heart Surgery is performed under general anaesthesia, with the surgical approach determined by the underlying cardiac or vascular condition. Unlike procedures requiring direct opening of the heart chambers, selected closed procedures can be performed around the heart or on major blood vessels. After surgery, patients are monitored for cardiac function, oxygenation, bleeding, changes in heart rhythm, and other potential complications. Recovery depends on the specific procedure, the patient's age, and overall health.
