Surgeons use the da Vinci® Surgical System at Mercy Hospital for selected cardiovascular procedures. The advanced technology allows physicians to operate less invasively than with traditional surgical methods. Because the incisions are smaller, patients have less pain and recover faster.
Mercy Hospital, along with our surgical colleagues, are nationally recognized for excellence in cardiovascular care, with approximately 450 open heart
surgery procedures each year. We offer a full range of surgical procedures including:
MAZE - minimally invasive surgery for atrial fibrillation
Preparing for surgery
The cardiovascular surgical team consists of highly trained professionals who blend state of the art technology, surgical expertise and a caring
staff to provide the best possible experience for
our patients and their families. Whenever possible, patients and family meet with a cardiac nurse a few days before surgery to learn what you can expect during surgery and your time in the hospital.
