MICS is not appropriate for patients with serious medical conditions such as lung illness or peripheral vascular disease, aberrant rib cage anatomy (severe kyphosis or pectus chest), or those who require further cardiac operations. Minimally invasive cardiac surgery is also seldom used in complicated cases requiring numerous procedures, such as a combined valve and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedure. Patients with an active lifestyle, such as those who participate in sports, or those who are likely to experience delayed chest bone healing if bone splitting is performed, will benefit more from MICS.</p> <p><strong>MICS is used to perform selective procedures.</strong></p> <p>A <a href="https://www.abheartcare.com/blog/what-is-minimally-invasive-cardiac-heart-surgery-in-chandigarh/">minimally invasive</a> method can now be used to perform some coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and valvular surgical procedures. On left anterior descending artery stenosis, a single graft bypass is most usually performed – minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass.</p> <p><strong>Also see:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.abheartcare.com/valve-replacement/">Valve Replacement Surgery</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.abheartcare.com/blog/pediatric-heart-surgeon-in-chandigarh/">Pediatric Heart Surgeon in Chandigarh</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.abheartcare.com/blog/bypass-heart-surgeon-in-chandigarh/">Bypass Heart Surgeon in Chandigarh</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.abheartcare.com/blog/heart-specialist-in-chandigarh/">Heart Specialist in Chandigarh</a></li> </ul>
