Answers to the questions we hear most often.
Minimally invasive techniques use small incisions (2–5 cm) instead of the traditional full sternotomy. Benefits include less pain, lower infection risk, faster recovery (days to weeks vs months), and superior cosmetic results. Dr. Chen is a regional pioneer of these techniques.
Preparation involves several pre-operative evaluations, medication adjustments, fasting protocols, and sometimes cardiac rehabilitation. Our dedicated pre-surgery coordinator will guide you through every step starting from your first consultation.
Traditional open-heart surgery typically requires 4–6 weeks for driving, 6–8 weeks before returning to light work, and 3–6 months for full recovery. Minimally invasive approaches with Dr. Chen often cut these timelines significantly.
