"UCSF offers the full range of minimally invasive approaches for heart valve surgery to appropriately selected patients using small incisions including the mini-thoracotomy or hemi-sternotomy, specific to the type of valve surgery. The benefits are significant including less post-operative pain at the incision site, a shorter hospital stay, a faster return to normal activities, and an improved cosmetic result."
