Short Term Results of Sternal Sparing (Minimal Invasive) Approach in Cardiac Surgery
Journal Title: GCSMC Journal of Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: Over the past decades minimally invasive cardiac surgery has grown in popularity. This growth has been driven by desire to translate many observed benefits like less pain, better cosmetic, less surgical trauma as compared to traditional cardiac surgery. Material and Methods: In this study 25 patients diagnosed having mitral or aortic valve disease requiring replacement of the valve and atrial septal defect requiring surgical closure operated between 1/08/2011 to 31/12/2013 were included. Results: 22 patients were operated by right thoracotomy while 3 patients were operated by mini sternotomy.16 patients were operated by central cannulation while 9 patients were operated by peripheral cannulation. Average time for mitral valve surgery was 270 min, for aortic valve surgery was 281.6 min and for ASD closure was 202.3 min. Conclusion: Minimally invasive cardiac surgery is the upcoming boom and it can be safely performed with the available newer cannulae, anesthesia techniques and surgical instruments.
