Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS)

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery in Yeshwanthpur

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS) is a modern way of doing heart surgeries with small cuts, special tools, and video assistance. Unlike the older open-heart surgeries with big chest cuts, MICS tries to be gentler on the chest and nearby tissues. 

In MICS, heart surgeons use special treatments through small cuts in the chest instead of big openings. The type of treatment depends on the heart problem. For fixing heart valves like the aortic or mitral valve, surgeons go in through small cuts and repair or replace the damaged valves. In cases of blocked or narrowed coronary arteries, MICS-CABG is done with small cuts to improve blood flow using grafts, and it helps us recover faster with less chest trauma than the regular open-heart CABG. MICS is also good for closing holes in the heart's upper chambers, known as atrial septal defects, using devices or patches through small cuts. 

Arrhythmias, irregular heart rhythms, can be treated by surgeons with MICS, where they use small cuts for techniques like ablation to restore normal heart rhythm. Additionally, if there's too much heart muscle causing problems (Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy), MICS is used to remove the excess through small cuts. Throughout these procedures, surgeons use special tools and cameras for better visibility. MICS is getting better, giving us less pain, shorter stays in the hospital, and quicker recovery compared to big open-heart surgeries.
