      Modern day cardiothoracic surgery encompasses not only the treatment but also the prevention of recurrence of heart disease with modifications of diet and lifestyle. Prevention is always better than cure, however, for most patients, treatment is still necessary and life-saving. The less trauma we cause to the body the better outcome is expected, provided the same level of treatment can be used. Minimally invasive heart surgery takes many forms. It is important not only to consider the size of the cut(although this is cosmetically most pleasing) but also whether to use cardiopulmonary bypass and most important, whether it is necessary to stop the heart and to manipulate the aorta through cannulation, clamping or attaching top ends of bypass grafts. For the patients, these are more important than the mere length of the wound. Show less
