Adult Cardiac Surgery
The USC Cardiothoracic Surgeon's Group, working within the USC Keck School of Medicine's Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, is and has been a leader in the surgical treatment of the entire field of both adult and pediatric cardiovascular disease for more than 10 years. 
Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery Standard heart surgery typically requires exposure of the heart and its vessels through median sternotomy (dividing the breastbone), considered one of the most invasive and traumatic aspects of open-chest surgery. A minimally invasive approach allows access to the heart through small incisions and without stopping the heart, or separating the breastbone (sternum) and ribcage, or requiring a heart-lung machine to be used.
