Small scar.
Big improvement.
Specializing in complex
cardiac conditions,
Dr. Bailey performs
minimally invasive valve
repair and percutaneous
valve surgery. His
expertise and experience
in heart transplantation
and mechanical
circulatory support
enables him to offer
surgical options to
individuals who may be
considered high risk due
to the complexity of their
conditions.
AHN is the only health care system in western Pennsylvania
performing robot-assisted mitral valve surgery using the
da Vinci ™ Surgical System.
Robotic surgery is minimally invasive, allowing surgeons to operate
through a few small incisions. The system lets them be even more
precise in their movements for procedures like valve reconstruction.
Individuals benefit from shorter hospital stays, faster recovery times,
lower risk of infection, and less scarring.
