Minimally Invasive 心 Surgery (MICS)
For more traditional kinds of heart surgery, doctors need to cut through your breastbone to reach your heart (this kind of procedure is also called a sternotomy). 做过心脏直视手术的病人, 例如, have their breastbone cut so surgeons can reach their heart.
在微创心脏手术中, doctors make small cuts (or incisions) between your ribs on the right side of your chest. Making these small cuts means doctors don’t need to cut through your breastbone to reach your heart. Many patients have less pain and recover faster from minimally invasive surgery than other types of heart surgery like open heart surgery. Doctors may also be able to see your heart better during minimally invasive surgery than during open heart surgery.
就像开胸手术一样, your surgeon may need to stop your heart for a short time to reroute blood flow from your heart. Your surgeon may use a heart-lung bypass machine to do this.

Is Pre-Operative Evaluation Different With MICS?
In general, all patients who are being considered for cardiac surgery are thoroughly screened. First, we must make sure that you need surgery. Many patients avoid visiting a heart surgeon because they fear they will quickly be taken to the operating room even if they don’t need surgery. It’s our job to make sure we know when to operate, but also when not to operate. This requires experience and sound judgment so we give the best advice to our patients and their families.
We recognize that each patient is different. We are prepared to deal with any situations that are unique to your specific health condition.

Are Complications of MICS Different from Traditional 心 Surgery?

Many types of heart surgery can be performed without using a cardiopulmonary bypass machine. But valvular surgeries need a heart-lung machine. To use this machine, doctors will place tubes in a patient’s artery and vein in their groin. Some patients may feel numbness or have drainage around the area where the tube is place near their groin. Some patients may also have temporary numbness under their right breast where doctors insert more tubes.
如果你有MICS, your chances of having complications are usually lower compared to other types of heart surgery. This is because there is less risk of 出血 and infection. You will also be able to start walking earlier and return to your normal activities.
Who Can Have Minimally Invasive 心 Surgery?
Most minimally invasive cardiac surgeries are best for patients who have valvular heart disease including aortic, 二尖瓣, and tricuspid valve stenosis (narrowing) or regurgitation (leaking). In addition, minimally invasive cardiac surgery can be used to treat atrial fibrillation. It can also be used to close atrial septal defects and patent foramen ovales.
Some patients who need coronary artery bypass surgery may also be able to have MICS.
