  • Massage after Heart Surgery

    Doctors at Mayo Clinic are starting a new program called the Healing Enhancement Program. The goal is pain-free open heart surgery. This includes medications, but it also includes complementary therapies like massage.

  • Off-Pump Bypass

    Every year, thousands of people have open heart bypass surgery to reroute blocked arteries. Now a group of doctors are performing bypasses without silencing your beating heart.

  • Robotically Assisted Heart Surgery

    Every year thousands of Americans have operations to repair or replace faulty heart valves. For most of those people, it means open heart surgery. But now, doctors at Mayo Clinic are using robots to help them perform certain valve operations without opening the chest. There's less pain, shorter hospital stays and many people get back to work in a couple of weeks.
