Dr Alex Na, cardiovascular surgeon at Mary Washington Healthcare, talks about how patients benefit with minimally invasive heart surgery.
“They have less pain, and they have less wound-healing problems, they have less bleeding complications, and they less pulmonary complications,” said Na.
Mary Washington’s comprehensive heart center offers surgical excellence and advanced treatment options close to home and family.
“If you look at those complex cases, our outcomes are as good or better than most of the big institutions,” said Na.
While caring for each patient with dignity and compassion, our heart center continues to advance.
“The hospital is committed to bringing in the new technologies and keeping our cardiac surgery program as state of the art as possible. We’re doing all these things because it’s better care for the patients.”
Mary Washington Healthcare. Here for you. Always.
