Open heart surgery is not as “open” as it used to be. Less invasive procedures are becoming more common — like the McGinn Technique, which reduces trauma to the chest cavity and speeds up recovery time. On this episode of Baptist HealthTalk, the technique’s inventor, Joseph McGinn, Jr., M.D., chief of cardiac surgery at Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute, joins host, Dr. Johnathan Fialkow, to talk about heart surgery advances.
More from Dr. McGinn can be found on the Baptist Health Resource Blog:
