https://www.HeartValveSurgery.com - Sternal closure is a critical aspect of cardiac surgery recovery. As a result, patients have important questions about the use of innovative techniques for sternal closure, such as rigid sternal fixation.

For example, Brad just asked, "How many centers of excellence now use rigid sternum closure systems versus the old way of using just wire to close a sternotomy?”

To answer Brad's question, we contacted Dr. Marc Gerdisch, the Chief of Cardiac Surgery at Franciscan Health in Indianapolis, Indiana. During his extraordinary career, Dr. Gerdisch has performed over 6,000 cardiac procedures and successfully treated more than 130 patients in the HeartValveSurgery.com community.

To schedule an appointment or second opinion with Dr. Marc Gerdisch, please call (317) 682-0089 or visit https://www.heart-valve-surgery.com/surgeons/dr-Marc-Gerdisch-Indianapolis-Indiana.php.
