Minimally Invasive Heart Procedures

Cardiac Surgeon Sebastian Pagni, MD at Baptist Health in Louisville, Kentucky describes in detail how using less invasive techniques can help patients heal and recover faster after open heart surgery.

"I was diagnosed with a heart murmur in 7th grade due to mitral valve prolapse. Many years later, I became short of breath and very symptomatic. I needed a mitral valve replacement. Every aspect of my care, from start to finish, at Baptist Health Louisville was amazing. I can exercise again!"
