Heart surgery is performed to correct problems in the heart valves and arteries, restore blood flow, or replace a diseased heart altogether. - Hybrid coronary revascularization
Hybrid coronary revascularization is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat coronary artery disease. Because it is minimally invasive, open heart surgery is not necessary. - Left ventricular remodeling/surgical ventricular restoration

This new technique preserves as much of the natural heart structure as possible and avoids the need for artificial devices. - Transmyocardial revascularization (TMR)
