Pro Cuore surgeons during surgery: cutting-edge technology accelerates patient recovery – Photo: Disclosure/NDThe use of less invasive surgical techniques for the treatment of heart disease has long been a reality and is good news for patients in a situation that causes high levels of stress.
For less invasive procedures, surgeons rely on the help of video to offer the patient a less invasive treatment from small incisions, most of the time without opening the sternum (breast bone) or with a smaller opening than usual. .
Thus, the operation is less traumatic and the patient stays in the hospital for less time, with less risk of infection, returns to his daily activities faster and has a better aesthetic effect, although this is not the main goal.
Minimally invasive surgery is one of the procedures performed by cardiovascular surgeons Leopoldo Moratelli Neto and Lindolfo Moratelli Filho, founding brothers of Pró Cuore, located in the center of Florianopolis.
Another evolution performed routinely and considered minimally invasive is the so-called percutaneous procedures: not incisions, but punctures of catheter needles to the treatment site, which deliver a device such as aortic and mitral valves, and prostheses to close the orifices of the congenital ones.
Dr. Lindolfo Moratelli Filho – Photo: Publicity/NDModern technology, together with large equipment companies, have made this procedure a reality. In principle, all traditional heart surgeries are similar to minimally invasive heart surgeries.
Myocardial revascularization (formerly called subcutaneous bypass), valve replacement, and plastic, among others, are possible. Some restrictions apply on a case-by-case basis to patients with more complex conditions.
Any surgical team will always make it clear that aesthetics will remain on the sidelines, and patient safety is important. Health insurance plans are adapting to new technologies that have shown shorter hospital stays and are as effective as gold standard treatment.
Pro Cuore next to patients
After many years of training and observing experienced teams in this field in the main Brazilian centers and abroad, we are convinced that video-assisted minimally invasive cardiac surgery brings excellent results and many benefits for patients, which motivated us to renew ourselves and bring the best of cardiac surgery to our patients. today.
Pró Cuore was developed by the brothers Leopoldo Moratelli Neto and Lindolfo Moratelli Filho, cardiovascular surgeons working in the largest public and private hospitals in the Greater Florianopolis region.

Empathy is north of Pro Cuore. All treatment is carried out together with the patient, taking into account his wishes and concerns.
