Here are the most reputed hospitals in India for Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery. These hospitals are known for advanced infrastructure, international accreditations, and high success rates.
Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) is heart surgery performed through small incisions between the ribs or through a partial breastbone opening, rather than the long central chest incision used in conventional open-heart surgery. The surgical goal — repairing or replacing a heart valve, bypassing a blocked coronary artery, or closing a defect — is identical to traditional surgery; only the route to reach the heart changes. MICS can treat a wide range of conditions including mitral, aortic, and tricuspid valve disease, single- or double-vessel coronary artery disease, atrial septal defects, and selected congenital or tumour-related conditions. Compared with conventional open-heart surgery, suitable patients typically experience less post-operative pain, reduced blood loss, a shorter hospital stay, and an earlier return to daily activities. The approach is chosen after careful assessment of the patient's anatomy, imaging findings, lung function, and the specific heart condition.
Heart valve repair or replacement performed through a small incision between the ribs on the right side of the chest, avoiding any division of the breastbone.
