What is MICS?

Heart problems – if ignored – may result in a heart attack or heart failure and they can be fatal if not treated. This is why, when it is not possible to correct heart-related problems through medicines, heart surgery remains the only option and should be opted for without much delay.Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery is the latest technique to do heart surgeries.As the name suggests, it is minimally invasive – means just a couple of specialized instrument and camera are inserted in the chest through small holes of the size of keyholes. In some cases, the heart and lungs are bypassed while carrying out the surgery. MICS is very useful for a variety of heart problems. And for many heart problems, MICS gives more convenience and effectiveness to the surgeons.

Recovery Post MICS

After the heart surgery using MICS, the patient is kept under clinical observation in ICU. This is important to reduce risk of sudden heart attack and chances of infection. Once the surgeon is convinced that the patient is stable and recovering well, the patient is shifted to the regular hospital room. How long this phase may last, depends on the complexity of the heart problem and MICS. Further course of recovery is planned meticulously by the team of expert doctors.

Eligibility for MICS

Though MICS offers amazing benefits to the patients and doctors as well – sometimes because of the patient condition and complexity of the heart problem, the MICS can not be used for surgery. To decide if MICS can be used for certain situation, the experts need to examine the patient from many different aspects. Some of the most important factors are – medical history, physical test reports, pathology, radiology, BMI profile, and so on…
