Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS)

Advanced Heart Surgery with Smaller Incisions & Faster Recovery

Dr. Ajay Sharma | MBBS, MS, MCh (CTVS)

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS) is an advanced heart surgery technique performed through small incisions without fully opening the chest bone (sternum). This modern approach reduces surgical trauma, minimizes pain, and promotes faster recovery compared to traditional open-heart surgery.

Dr. Ajay Sharma, an experienced Cardio-thoracic & Vascular Surgeon with over 14 years of expertise, specializes in advanced minimally invasive heart procedures with a focus on patient safety and precision.

What Makes MICS Different?

Unlike conventional open-heart surgery, MICS:

• Uses small keyhole incisions

• Avoids full sternotomy (cutting the breastbone)

• Results in less blood loss

• Causes less post-operative pain

• Leaves minimal scarring

• Allows quicker recovery and shorter hospital stay

Conditions Treated with MICS

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery can be used for:

• Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (Selected Cases)

• Valve Repair & Valve Replacement

• Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) Closure

• Certain congenital heart defects

• Selected cardiac tumor removal

Each patient is carefully evaluated to determine eligibility for minimally invasive techniques.

Benefits of MICS

• Smaller incision (better cosmetic outcome)

• Lower risk of infection

• Reduced hospital stay

• Faster return to normal activities

• Early rehabilitation

• Less trauma to the chest wall

Recovery After MICS

• ICU stay: Usually shorter compared to traditional surgery

• Hospital stay: Often 3–5 days

• Faster mobility and breathing recovery

• Return to daily activities in a shorter time

Proper follow-up care and lifestyle modifications ensure long-term heart health.
