2. MitraClip - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MitraClip

   Compared to patients who need open heart surgery, patients who received mitral clip have less need for a blood transfusion and have fewer ventilation days. [4] When compared to the patient who has had open heart surgery, MitraClip was cheaper - approximately $2200 less per person - and the median stay in the hospital post mitral clip is 2.4 days.

3. Minimally invasive cardiac surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimally_invasive_cardiac...

   This procedure makes heart surgery possible for patients who were previously considered too high risk for traditional surgery due to age or medical history. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Patients referred for this procedure may have coronary artery disease (CAD); aortic, mitral or tricuspid valve diseases; or previous unsuccessful stenting.

4. Off-pump coronary artery bypass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-pump_coronary_artery...

   Off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB), or beating-heart surgery, is a form of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery performed without cardiopulmonary bypass (heart-lung machine) as a treatment for coronary heart disease. It was primarily developed in the early 1990s by Dr. Amano Atsushi.

5. Mitral valve replacement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_valve_replacement

   Mitral valve replacement is a procedure whereby the diseased mitral valve of a patient's heart is replaced by either a mechanical or tissue (bioprosthetic) valve. The mitral valve may need to be replaced because: [citation needed] The valve is leaky (mitral valve regurgitation) The valve is narrowed and doesn't open properly (mitral valve ...

6. Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass surgery

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimally_invasive_direct...

   MIDCAB is sometimes referred to as "keyhole" heart surgery because the operation is analogous to operating through a keyhole. MIDCAB is a form of off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (OPCAB), performed "off-pump" – without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (the heart-lung machine).

7. Mitral valve repair - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_valve_repair

   Mitral valve repair is a cardiac surgery procedure performed by cardiac surgeons to treat stenosis (narrowing) or regurgitation (leakage) of the mitral valve. The mitral valve is the "inflow valve" for the left side of the heart. Blood flows from the lungs, where it picks up oxygen, through the pulmonary veins, to the left atrium of the heart.
