Vadodara’s first mini CABG (Bypass Surgery) successfully performed at Parul Sevashram Hospital

Parul Sevashram hospital recently recorded two successful cases of a Minimal Invasive Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (CABG). Through its new advancements in technology, the hospital has been successful in finding ways to maneuver from open-heart bypass surgeries to safer and stress-free minimally invasive surgeries.

Two patients, one from Gujarat and another from Madhya Pradesh, had the condition of triple vessel disease & single-vessel disease. The two patients underwent this surgery, and they were successfully discharged on the 4th postoperative day with no complications. The surgeries have set a leading record for heart-related medical procedures which not only ensure the most effective treatment but also guarantee patient safety.

Minimally invasive heart surgery can be done to treat a variety of heart conditions; it involves making small incisions in the right side of the chest to reach the heart between the ribs, rather than cutting through the sternum, as is done in open-heart surgery. Compared with open-heart surgery, this type of surgery causes less pain and a quicker recovery for many people, as mentioned by Dr. Parth Bharat Solanki, a CVTS surgeon at Parul Sevashram Hospital.

The potential benefits of minimally invasive heart surgery when compared with open-heart surgery, can include:

▪️ Less blood loss
▪️ Lower risk of infection
▪️ Reduced trauma and pain
▪️ Shorter time in the hospital, faster recovery, and quicker return to normal activities
▪️ Smaller, less noticeable scars

“At PSH, the advanced setup and instrumentation and the team of surgeons supported by the anesthetist and the paramedic team providing the needed expertise while performing minimally invasive procedures and the benefits of PMJAY MAA are also available which is like a boon for the patients at large,” said Dr. Geetika M Patel, the Hospital’s Medical Director.
