Dr. Pavan Kumar is one of the best surgeons in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India for minimally invasive CABG. He has performed numerous heart surgeries across India.
Minimally invasive coronary (heart) artery bypass can be done without stopping the heart. Therefore, you do not need to be put on a heart-lung machine for this procedure.
Minimally invasive heart surgery involves making small incisions in the right side of your chest to reach the heart between the ribs, rather than cutting through the breastbone, as is done in open-heart surgery.
Advantages of MIDCAB vs traditional CABG surgery include:
Lower risk of infection
Smaller incisions mean smaller scars
