Minimally Invasive Surgery

I'm researching for a friend who needs aortic valve replacement and
double vessel coronary artery bypass surgery. He has been told by his
doctor that he is not a candidate for minimally invasive surgery. He is terribly
afraid of memory loss following surgery with a heart lung machine,as well
as the difficult recovery and risk from conventional surgery.
He is
hoping that maybe somewhere on the cutting edge there is a possibility of
minimally invasive surgery for him. Is there?
