About Us
Hackensack University Medical Center, a regional leader in minimally invasive cardiac surgery and the best Cardiology, Heart and Vascular Surgery hospital in New Jersey by U.S. News & World Report 2024-2025, employs innovative, collaborative techniques for valve replacement and repair, as well as coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
These minimally invasive approaches expand treatment options for frail and critically ill patients who may not be suitable for traditional open surgery. The dedicated cardiac team at Hackensack University Medical Center meticulously evaluates each surgical candidate to determine the potential for minimally invasive or hybrid techniques. This may involve combining procedures, such as a percutaneous coronary artery intervention followed by a minimally invasive valve repair with a limited chest incision.
Initially met with skepticism within the medical community, minimally invasive surgery has now proven its value through years of documented outcomes. Benefits include improved patient mobility post-surgery and a faster return to work. Experts assure there's no compromise in the operation performed; even complicated procedures can be performed less invasively.
Hackensack University Medical Center's robust robotic surgery capabilities and highly collaborative interventional and cardiac surgery team position it as a hub for innovation in hybrid techniques. While robotic techniques currently focus on CABG, physicians at Hackensack envision the future application of robotic tools in minimally invasive valve surgery, leveraging the team's extensive experience in robotics.
