Reduced chance of infection
Smaller access points mean a lower infection risk than a full sternotomy.
Through heart bypass surgery, a new pathway for blood and oxygen to travel to your heart is created.
Without stopping the heart, a minimally invasive coronary (heart) artery bypass can be performed. This technique does not need that you be placed on a heart-lung machine.
In contrast to open-heart surgery, which includes cutting through the breastbone, minimally invasive heart surgery entails making small incisions in the right side of your chest to access the heart between the ribs.
Advantages
MIDCAB has several benefits over conventional CABG surgery
Fewer scars
Fewer scars result from smaller incisions.
No heart-lung machine
The bypass is performed on the beating heart, without cardiopulmonary bypass.
Please note
MIDCAB has disadvantages over conventional CABG surgery
-
Not for multi-vessel disease
Patients who require bypass grafts on several vessels should not undergo MIDCAB surgery.
-
Limited access
Your surgeon can only fix the veins on one side of the heart because of the tiny incisions.
