Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery 
"Key hole Surgery"

Why Is Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery Performed?

MICS can be used for a wide range of cardiac procedures, including:

1. Aortic Valve Replacement (AVR)

2. Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) and Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) Closure

3. Atrioventricular Septal Defect Repair

4. Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (Minimally Invasive CABG)

5. Maze Procedure for Atrial Fibrillation

6. Mitral Valve Repair or Replacement (MVR)

7. Saphenous Vein Harvesting for Bypass Surgery

8. Tricuspid Valve Repair or Replacement

​

Who Is a Suitable Candidate?
Ideal candidates include young and middle-aged adults and selected elderly patients with good overall health.
Not suitable for MICS:

• Patients with severe lung disease

• Blocked or calcified arteries throughout the body

• Multiple combined cardiac problems

• Complex or emergency cases

• Children under 12 years​​

​

Benefits of MICS

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery offers several advantages over conventional open-heart surgery:

• Less pain after surgery

• Faster healing and recovery

• Minimal blood loss

• Lower risk of infection

• Shorter hospital stay

• Smaller incision (around 4 cm)

• Fewer physical restrictions

• Cosmetically better with minimal scarring

These benefits help patients return to normal life sooner with greater comfort and confidence.

​

What to Anticipate During a MICS?
Robotic heart surgery, thoracoscopic surgery, and chest surgery through a small incision are all examples of Minimally Invasive Heart Valve Surgery and Minimally Invasive Heart Bypass Surgery. In each type, doctors make a tiny incision between your chest ribs to access your heart.

The surgeon uses a gadget with a tiny video camera introduced via one of the incisions to assist in viewing inside your body. Similar to open heart surgery, the majority of minimally invasive procedures employ a heart- lung bypass machine. Throughout the process, the machine keeps blood flowing through your body.

 

After the Procedure (Recovery & ICU Care)

Following MICS, patients typically spend:

1–2 days in the ICU, where they receive close monitoring

A few more days in a regular ward before discharge

During recovery, the healthcare team will:

Monitor incision sites for infection

Check heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing

Manage pain effectively

Encourage early mobility

Teach breathing exercises to keep the lungs clear

Guide you on medication, wound care, and activity levels

Your doctor will advise when you can safely return to work, driving, exercise, and daily routines.
