MINIMAL INVASIVE CARDIAC SURGERY

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS) is a surgical procedure performed through several small incisions instead of a single, large incision in the chest as done in a traditional open-heart surgery. It is a safe and broadly accepted technique among leading cardiologists to address a wide range of complex heart surgeries, including valve repair and replacements, congenital heart surgeries and bypass surgeries.

MICS procedures involve lesser blood loss during surgery, allowing quicker recovery and fewer post-operative complications in patients. The procedure involves less post-operative discomfort, with most patients not requiring further post-operative assistance after discharge and can resume everyday activities as usual within few weeks of surgery.

MICS allows patients considered high-risk for traditional open-heart surgery due to either their age or medical history, to undergo corrective heart surgery with ease. Patients having Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), aortic, mitral or tricuspid valve disorders, or with an unsuccessful stenting in the past can be referred for MICS.
