Traditional heart surgery requires incisions through the middle of the chest and the breast bone. These increase the complexity of the surgery as well as the healing period and return to the normal life activities. Keyhole valve surgery eliminates such risks posed by conventional surgery mainly because of the minimally invasive nature of the procedure involved.
