Now, coronary bypass surgery with minimum incision
Thu, Feb 19 03:26 AM
When 53-year-old Suman Singhal was admitted to the Apollo last week
with a stinging pain in her left arm, little did she know that she
would become the first patient to undergo Minimally Invasive Coronary
Artery Bypass Grafting (MIC CABG). Now, four days later, she is well
on her way to a speedy recovery.
Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals announced the introduction of MICS CABG
on Wednesday for patients suffering from cardio-vascular diseases. The
new procedure is expected to bring about a revolution in the way
cardiac patients are currently treated.
The surgery on Singhal, hailing from Bulandshahr in UP and suffering
multiple artery blockages, was performed by Dr Naresh Trehan, senior
cardiac surgeon and Dr Yatin Mehta, Senior Consultant Anaesthetist, of
Apollo.
The new technique brings down the cost of a bypass surgery by almost
Rs 50,000. As against the conventional method in which the breastbone
is cut to reach the heart, this technique requires only a three-inch
cut. In this procedure, a coronary bypass is performed through a
smaller incision in the chest, often with the use of robotics and
video-imaging that helps the surgeon operate in a small area.
A patient operated in this method requires shorter recovery time and
fewer blood transfusions - both factors reducing the cost of the
surgery.
In a normal bypass surgery, an incision is made in the chest as the
heart continues to beat. A stabilisation system lifts and holds the
heart and then stabilises a portion of the heart's surface where the
bypass graft is to be sutured in place, while the heart continues to
beat.
The new technique uses a combination of small holes or "ports" in the
chest and a small incision is made directly over the coronary artery
to be bypassed. This allows the surgeon to safely and effectively put
bypass grafts into place without leaving a big scar and simultaneously
offers the benefits of beating heart surgery.
