Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Overview
USC cardiothoracic surgeons have engaged in a new era of cardiac surgery that promises to significantly improve treatment of the most common forms of heart disease by introducing minimally invasive technology to cardiac surgery. With the development of the minimally invasive cardiac surgical technology, USC surgeons can achieve results that are safe, precise and reproducible; but that provide significant benefits to the patient in terms of decreased postoperative pain, recovery time, cost and cosmetic result.
