Minimally invasive cardiac surgery is heart surgery that does not require cutting open the chest and splitting apart the breastbone (sternum). With advancements in the field of Minimally Access Surgery,it is now possible to use this technique in most Cardiac Operations. Cardiac Surgeries can be performed through small thoracotomy incisions either on the right or left chest. These incisions allow the surgical instruments to be inserted between the ribs, leaving the breastbone intact.
Patients receive the same lifesaving benefits, but with significantly less trauma, less pain and a faster recovery. These benefits have helped make minimally invasive cardiac surgery the preferred approach for many heart patients today.

Robotic Heart Surgery
The most advanced technology for minimally invasive heart surgery is now available in India. Robotic da Vinci Surgical System combines superior 3D visualization along with greatly enhanced dexterity, precision and control in an intuitive, ergonomic interface with breakthrough surgical capabilities. By enhancing surgical capabilities, robotic surgery helps to improve clinical outcomes and redefine standards of care.
Types of Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery
Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG): A less invasive alternative for treating severe blockage that is restricting blood flow and oxygen to the heart, also known as coronary artery disease. A healthy blood vessel is taken from another area of the body and used to divert the flow of blood around a section of blocked artery, restoring normal blood flow to the heart muscle. The least invasive approach to this procedure is known as a minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB).
Aortic Valve Replacement (AVR):A procedure used to replace the aortic valve if it has thickened and narrowed, preventing adequate blood flow, or if the valve isn't fully closing, causing blood to leak back into the heart.
Mitral Valve Replacement/Repair (MVR): Surgery to either replace or repair the mitral valve in the heart, one of four main valves that help pass blood through the heart while preventing blood from flowing backwards.
Atrial Fibrillation:Surgery to correct an abnormal heart rhythm in the two upper chambers of the heart (the atria) that is causing poor blood flow to the body. Known as the “mini Maze” procedure, this less invasive approach creates scar tissue on the heart to block the abnormal electrical impulses that are disrupting the heart's normal rhythm.
Hybrid Procedures: Procedures that combine minimally invasive cardiac surgery with catheter-based interventions, most commonly stents. These tailored treatment strategies use the least-invasive approach to achieve the best possible outcome.
