Minimally Invasive Heart Surgery

Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center is one of the first hospitals in Palm Beach County offering minimally invasive heart surgery as a treatment option for patients suffering from heart valve disease. Unlike traditional open heart surgery where the breast bone needs to be surgically separated, minimally invasive valve surgery is performed through a small incision between the ribs.

“This isn’t just our 1000th, 5000th, or even 10,000th heart surgery. It’s our 19,000th, and the success of this program was built upon the experience, skill and dedication of our team to provide the latest cardiac treatments for our patients,” said Dr. Neerav Shah, chief of cardiology at Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center. “We are proud of what we have accomplished so far, and we will continue to be here to bring many more firsts to the communities we serve.”
