OFF PUMP CABG
Off-Pump CABG is a surgical technique that allows cardiac surgeons to bypass blocked coronary arteries without using a heart-lung machine. This approach reduces risks associated with cardiopulmonary bypass, such as stroke, kidney injury, and systemic inflammation.
Key Benefits:
-
Reduced risk of stroke and neurological complications
-
Less blood loss and transfusion requirements
-
Shorter ICU and hospital stays
-
Less trauma to the heart and surrounding tissues
-
Suitable for high-risk patients with comorbidities
Who Benefits:
-
High-risk patients with comorbidities (e.g., renal failure, COPD)
-
Patients with severe aortic disease
-
Those requiring multi-vessel bypass grafting
SINGLE VALVE/DOUBLE VALVE REPLACEMENT
Valve replacement surgery involves replacing damaged heart valves with artificial ones. Single valve replacement treats issues with one valve, while double valve replacement addresses problems with two valves.
SINGLE VALVE REPLACEMENT
-
Typically performed for aortic or mitral valve disease
-
Less complex procedure with shorter recovery
-
Options include mechanical or bioprosthetic valves
DOUBLE VALVE REPLACEMENT
-
Addresses issues with both aortic and mitral valves
-
More complex procedure with longer recovery
-
Often recommended for patients with rheumatic heart disease or severe valve dysfunction
Key Considerations
-
Valve choice (mechanical vs bioprosthetic) depends on age, lifestyle, and anticoagulation needs
-
Surgical approach (sternotomy or minimally invasive) depends on patient factors and surgeon expertise
-
Post-op care involves anticoagulation management and monitoring for complications
Who Benefits
-
Patients with severe valve disease and symptoms
-
Those with valve dysfunction due to infection, degeneration, or congenital defects
MIDLINE STERNOTOMY MITRAL VALVE REPLACEMENT
Midline sternotomy is a traditional approach for mitral valve replacement (MVR) surgery. This approach involves a vertical incision through the sternum, providing excellent exposure to the heart.
