What is this minimal invasive cardiac surgery?
Traditionally from last 50 years all the cardiac surgery has been performed by cutting open the bone at the center which is called the sternum and after surgery we united by using multiple wires.
What we have seen over the years that this healing of the bone is the one which restrict the patient from carrying out the day-to-day activities.
In addition, it may Causeway in some patients wound healing problems in the form of infections.
In the last decade, a new technology has come up which is called the minimal invasive cardiac surgery wherein we no longer cut the breastbone in the center but we make a small 2-to-3-inch incision in one side of the chest and do the same surgery with the help of a small videoscope called as thoracoscopy.
Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgeries
- Procedures
-
Coronary artery bypass surgery is a vital medical procedure that reroutes blood flow around blocked or narrowed coronary arteries, restoring proper blood supply to the heart. It helps alleviate chest pain, reduce the risk of heart attacks, and improve overall heart function.
-
Complex valve repairs and replacements are intricate cardiac procedures aimed at correcting or replacing damaged heart valves. These surgeries restore proper blood flow, improve heart function, and enhance the patient's quality of life.
-
Cardiac tumors are abnormal growths that develop in the heart. They can be benign or malignant, affecting heart function and blood flow. Early detection, accurate diagnosis, and specialized treatment are crucial in managing these tumors and ensuring better outcomes.
-
Valve replacement is a critical heart procedure that involves replacing damaged or diseased heart valves with artificial ones. It restores normal blood flow, improves heart function, and enhances the patient's quality of life.
