Minimal Invasive Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery- Dr S K Sinha
A surgical treatment for coronary heart disease which is a less invasive method of coronary artery by pass surgery is known as Minimal Invasive Coronary A rtery Bypass Surgery which can be done without stopping the heart and putting a patient on a heart-lung machine. Coronary artery bypass surgery is sometimes referred to as "keyhole" heart surgery also as the operation is analogous to operating through a small keyhole in which the patient needs not be on a heart-lung machine, but a device will be attached to the patients’ heart to stabilize it. Dr. S K Sinha, one of the best heart surgeon in India tell us the procedure how they perform this sensitive surgery. In Minimal Invasive Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery a 3- to 5-inch-long surgical cut in the left part of a patient’s chest between the ribs which allows the surgeon to reach the patient’s heart. Muscles in the area will be pushed apart and a small part of the front of the rib, called the costal cartilage, will be removed. After which the surgeon will find and prepare an artery on the patient’s chest wall to attach to the coronary artery that is blocked. The surgeon will connect the prepared artery to the coronary artery that is blocked only after all the above said steps are done. There’s no need to use heart -lung machine in this produre as blood route to different direction by the surgeons who slow down the function of heart for
that time period.
This surgery offers many advantages to patients whic h includes: Quicker recovery times as compare to open CAB G surgery. It also Decreased need for blood transfusion. No manipulation of the ascending aort a that could cause neurologic injury is involved in this procedure which biggest plus point of this surgery. The Minimal Invasive Coronary Artery B ypass Surgery can be used on patients who have blockages that are accessible to bypass through a small incision in the left chest which depends on the pattern of blockages present in the coronary arteries that are seen in the angiogram (which is performed prior to being referred for surgery). If the blockages are pres ent only on the vessels on the left side of the heart, then most likely the patient is a candidate for the MICA surgery, conclude Dr. S K Sinha. These may be the risks of surgery which includes, blood clots in the legs that may travel to the lungs can happened. A chest wound infection (this is more likely to happen if you are obese, have diabet es, or have had coronary bypass surgery in the past). Dr S K Sinha, who is Director of CTVS (Max Super Speciality Hospital S ak et, New Delhi), concludes, that recovery from surgery takes time and you may not see the full benefits of your surgery for three to six months. In most people who have coronary artery bypass surgery, the grafts remain open and work well for many years. Precautionary Measures After Surgery
First of all this surgery does not prevent a blockage from coming back but you can do many things to slow it down like not smoking, eating a heart-healthy diet, getting regular ex ercise, and treating high blood pressure, high blood and high cholesterol will all help. You may be more likely to have problems with your blood vessels if you have kidney disease or some other medic al problems. So go regular for your medical check ups.
