Keyhole Heart Surgery: What Is Hybrid Keyhole Coronary Revascularisation?

 

If you are not suitable for TCRAT / MICS_CABG to multiple arteries we can still perform keyhole in certain situations using Hybrid Coronary Revascularisation. 

 

The Power of Combination

Hybrid keyhole coronary revascularisation merges two proven methods:

  1. Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)
  2. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stents

This innovative approach offers the durability of the surgical bypass with the less invasive nature of stenting.

 

Key Benefits

– Smaller incisions: No need for a full sternotomy

– Faster recovery: Patients typically return home sooner

– Reduced complications: Lower risk of infection and bleeding

– Best of both worlds: Combines the excellent patency of LIMA-to-LAD graft with modern drug-eluting stents

 

How It Works

  1. Surgeons perform a LIMA-to-LAD bypass through a small incision
  2. Interventional cardiologists place stents in other affected arteries
  3. Procedures may occur on the same day or within a short time frame.

 

Is It Right for You?

Hybrid revascularisation may be ideal if you:

– Have multi-vessel coronary artery disease

– Are not suitable for traditional multi-vessel keyhole surgery

– Prefer a less invasive option with potentially faster recovery

 

The Future of Heart Care

Hybrid keyhole coronary revascularisation shows promise in offering patients a tailored, less invasive approach to treating complex coronary artery disease.
