We Approached Vishal sir for my father's heart surgery(Blockage in3 arteries) and he advised us to go for Minimum Invasive method(MICS CABG) on 2nd Jan 2025, which has less complications and less recovery time. He gives us good amount of time in explaining the procedure and clarifying all doubts without any inconvenience. His team is always reachable over mobile for any kind of clarifications. Our family is always thankful for his service.

Testimonials & Patient Experience

Experience the world-class Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery, now in India - expert Doctors in MICS, robotic-assisted CABG, and advanced valve procedures.

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS) is an advanced technique that avoids full sternotomy, using small incisions and robotic or thoracoscopic assistance. It includes MICS-CABG, valve repairs, and ASD closures, reducing trauma, bleeding, and infection risks.

While MICS offers faster recovery and cosmetic benefits, challenges include longer operative times and technical complexity. Continuous advancements are improving patient outcomes and expanding its applicability.

CABG via MICS (Minimally Invasive Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting)

Minimally Invasive CABG is a modern alternative to traditional open-heart bypass surgery. Instead of opening the entire chest bone (sternotomy), the surgeon makes a small incision (usually 5–7 cm) on the left side of the chest to access the heart. Through this approach, one or more blocked coronary arteries can be bypassed using the LIMA (Left Internal Mammary Artery) or other grafts.

Benefits of CABG via MICS include:

• No full chest bone cut – only a small incision

• Less pain and faster recovery compared to conventional CABG

• Reduced risk of infection and blood loss

• Shorter hospital stay and quicker return to daily activities

• Better cosmetic results with minimal scarring

In India, CABG via MICS is increasingly preferred by patients who want advanced treatment with faster recovery. It is especially effective for single or double vessel disease and, in expert hands, can also be extended to more complex cases using robotic assistance.

An atrial septal defect (ASD) is a hole in the wall between the heart’s upper chambers. Traditionally, it required open-heart surgery, but today many ASDs can be treated using minimally invasive approaches.

• Catheter-based Closure: A small tube is passed through a vein in the leg to place a closure device in the heart. No large incision is needed, and patients usually go home within 1–2 days.

• Minimally Invasive Surgical Repair: For cases not suitable for device closure, the defect can be repaired through a small chest incision (mini-thoracotomy), avoiding a full sternotomy.

Both methods are safe, effective, and offer faster recovery, minimal scarring, and reduced discomfort compared to traditional open-heart surgery.

Minimally Invasive Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) Closure

Mitral Valve Regurgitation

Mitral valve regurgitation occurs when the mitral valve does not close properly, allowing blood to leak backward from the left ventricle into the left atrium. This makes the heart work harder to pump blood efficiently.

Common Symptoms:

• Shortness of breath, especially during exertion or lying flat

• Fatigue and reduced stamina

• Palpitations or irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation)

• Swelling in the ankles or feet

Causes:

• Mitral valve prolapse

• Rheumatic heart disease

• Heart attack damaging the valve

• Age-related valve degeneration

Treatment Options:
Mild cases may only need monitoring or medication, but moderate to severe regurgitation often requires mitral valve repair or replacement. Minimally invasive or robotic-assisted surgery is increasingly preferred for faster recovery and better outcomes.

Mitral Valve Stenosis

Mitral valve stenosis happens when the mitral valve becomes narrowed or stiff, restricting blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle. This increases pressure in the lungs and can eventually lead to heart failure if untreated.

Common Symptoms:

• Difficulty breathing, especially during exertion

• Coughing up blood (in severe cases)

• Chest discomfort or tightness

• Frequent respiratory infections

• Swelling in legs and feet

Causes:

• Rheumatic heart disease (most common cause in India)

• Calcium buildup on the valve (age-related)

• Congenital heart defects

Treatment Options:
Mild stenosis may be managed with medicines, but significant narrowing often requires balloon valvotomy (valve opening procedure) or surgical valve replacement, which can now be done through minimally invasive techniques.

Frequently asked questions

Q1. What is Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery and how is it different from open-heart surgery?

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS) is an advanced technique where heart procedures such as bypass surgery, valve replacement, or ASD/VSD closure are performed through small incisions instead of a full sternotomy. Unlike traditional open-heart surgery, MICS involves less pain, faster recovery, shorter hospital stay, and minimal scarring, making it a preferred option for many patients in India.

Q2. Which heart conditions can be treated with Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery in India?

In India, MICS is successfully used for various procedures, including:

• Minimally Invasive CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting)

• Mitral Valve Repair or Replacement

• Aortic Valve Replacement / TAVR

• ASD and VSD Closure (congenital heart defects)

• Pacemaker implantation
  This approach is especially beneficial for patients who are looking for advanced heart surgery with quicker recovery.

Q3. What are the benefits of Minimally Invasive Heart Surgery for patients in India?

The main advantages of MICS include:

• Smaller incision and less visible scar

• Reduced blood loss and lower infection risk

• Faster recovery and return to normal activities

• Shorter hospital stay compared to open-heart surgery

• Better cosmetic results, which younger patients often prefer
  These benefits make minimally invasive cardiac surgery a popular choice in top heart hospitals in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, and across India.

Q4. How much does Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery cost in India?

The cost of minimally invasive heart surgery in India is significantly more affordable compared to Western countries. Depending on the procedure, hospital, and city, prices usually range from ₹2.5 lakhs to ₹6 lakhs. International patients often choose India for MICS because of world-class surgeons, advanced robotic technology, and affordable packages.
