(CABG) Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

CABG is the most commonly performed heart surgery globally. It is the gold standard treatment for the multivessel disease. If the patient is detected with more than two blockages on angiography, bypass surgery is the best and long-term treatment available. Conventional bypass surgery needs, patient to be
put on a heart-lung machine and a vein graft is used to bypass the blockage. In modern technique, bypass is performed using internal mammary arteries on beating heart without a heart-lung machine, which is considered to be more superior than vein graft and long-lasting provided the operating surgeon is skilled. Overall, the success rate of bypass surgery is more than 99%. The most common fear of the general public is mortality which is actually less than 1%.

Valve replacement and Repair Surgery.

Rheumatic heart disease is very common in India affecting females more than males and prevalent in low socioeconomic conditions affecting heart in age group 15-40 years. It affects predominantly mitral and aortic valve. It causes valvular stenosis and/or regurgitation lesions. Patients presents with breathlessness, fatigue, tiredness while doing routine activities, sometimes chest pain, syncope can be there.

Along with the clinical presentation, diagnosis is confirmed with echocardiography (2 D Echo). The mainstay of treatment is either valve repair or replacement surgery.

Minimal invasive cardiac surgery

As we are advancing in technology, now a days we use minimal invasive techniques for performing bypass surgeries, and Valve surgeries.  Surgery is performed through small incisions on chest without cutting breast bone called sternum.  Bypass surgery can be performed through small incision on left side of chest with fast postoperative recovery and early discharge from hospital. Patients can resume their normal routines very early. But completeness and quality of surgery is  usually less than conventional surgery in bypass grafting. The operator skill required is high.

Minimal invasive valve surgery is best available treatment option as recovery is very fast  with minimum pain with a good outcome. Now a days mitral valve replacement and repair surgeries are routinely performed through small incision on chest.

Congenital Atrial septal defect surgery is best performed with minimal invasive surgery, as patients are young, it is cosmetically much accepted surgery.
