Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery - A Tiny Surgery

 Due to technical improvements, minimally invasive cardiac surgery can now be conducted through a small incision (thoracotomy) on the side of the chest between the ribs, without cracking the breastbone.


To get access to the heart for maximum exposure, cardiac surgery is traditionally performed through a cut in the center of the breastbone. Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) can now be performed through a small incision (thoracotomy) on the side of the chest between the ribs, without fracturing the breastbone, thanks to technological advancements.

Who is a good candidate for MICS?

Minimally invasive cardiac surgery may or may not be the best therapy option for every patient. MICS is not appropriate for patients with serious medical conditions such as lung illness or peripheral vascular disease, aberrant rib cage anatomy (severe kyphosis or pectus chest), or those who require further cardiac operations. Minimally invasive cardiac surgery is also seldom used in complicated cases requiring numerous procedures, such as a combined valve and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedure. Patients with an active lifestyle, such as those who participate in sports, or those who are likely to experience delayed chest bone healing if bone splitting is performed, will benefit more from MICS.

It is critical for patients to explore the suitability of any treatment alternatives with their doctors and to undergo a complete assessment to select the best treatment option for achieving the best health outcome

MICS is used to perform selective procedures.

minimally invasive method can now be used to perform some coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and valvular surgical procedures. On left anterior descending artery stenosis, a single graft bypass is most usually performed – minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass.

On a beating heart, most of the time. The afflicted valve is exposed through either a partial upper sternotomy or a right micro thoracotomy for aortic valve replacement. Mitral valve repair/replacement, which may be combined with a maze operation
.
The operation is done through a right micro thoracotomy and/or tricuspid valve repair. Minimally invasive cardiac surgery also includes catheter-based operations like transcatheter aortic valve implant and mitral clip.

In many parts of the world, MICS has become the conventional strategy for straightforward instances. More of our patients may benefit from MICS in the future at NHCS, thanks to our well-equipped MICS equipment, qualified anaesthetists, scrub nurses, perfusionists, and experienced cardiologists
