Cardiac robotic surgery
We offer robotic-assisted cardiac surgery using the latest generation of robotic surgical technology, expanding minimally invasive treatment options for eligible patients.
Advanced, minimally invasive care
Atlantic Health offers select cardiac procedures using robotic-assisted surgical technology, providing patients with a minimally invasive alternative to traditional open-heart surgery when clinically appropriate.
Using the latest robotic platform, cardiac surgeons perform complex procedures through small incisions rather than a full sternotomy. The robotic system translates the surgeon's hand movements into precise movements of specialized instruments while providing highly magnified, three-dimensional visualization of the surgical field.
Benefits of robotic cardiac surgery
Faster recovery and return to daily activities
Less postoperative discomfort
Minimal scarring
Reduced blood loss
Shorter hospital stays
Smaller incisions
Not every patient is a candidate for robotic cardiac surgery. Our cardiac surgeons evaluate each patient individually and recommend the most appropriate treatment approach based on their condition, anatomy and overall health.
Robotic procedures we offer
Depending on patient eligibility, robotic-assisted techniques may be used for procedures such as:
Closure of certain cardiac defects
Coronary artery bypass surgery (select patients)
Mitral valve repair
Surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation
Tricuspid valve repair
Other complex minimally invasive cardiac procedures
Procedures availability may vary by location, please call ahead to confirm.
State-of-the-art robotic platform
We use the da Vinci 5 surgical system, the latest generation of robotic-assisted surgical technology. The platform features enhanced precision, advanced visualization and innovative technology designed to support complex minimally invasive procedures. The surgeon remains in complete control of the system at all times.
