Smaller incision, faster recovery? new study tests heart valve surgery approaches

This study compares two types of heart valve surgery: a newer, less invasive method through a small cut on the right side of the chest versus the traditional method through a cut down the middle of the chest. Researchers will measure how quickly patients recover, including time on a breathing machine, pain levels, and wound healing. The goal is to see if the less invasive approach leads to a smoother and faster recovery for patients in Pakistan.
