Bhubaneswar(Kalinga Voice) : 42 years Abdul Osim from Balasore, suffered from heart attack one month ago. After Coronary angiography he was diagnosed with multiple blocks in his heart and was advised for Bypass surgery. Relatives contacted various hospitals in Cuttack & Bhubaneswar. Finally, they came to Cardiac surgery department in AMRI Hospitals Bhubaneswar where Cardiac surgeon Dr Biswajeet Mohapatra advised them for minimally invasive Bypass surgery. In this technique instead of a large incision over the middle of chest, open-heart surgery is done through a small hole on the side of the chest. A medical team under the leadership of Heart surgeon Dr Biswajeet Mohapatra, Cardiac anaesthesiologist Dr Vivek Chowdhry, Dr Braj Mohan Rath & Perfusionist Mr Punyabrat Giri performed Minimally invasive Bypass surgery on the patient.
The patient recovered fast after surgery & was discharged from the hospital 4 days after the surgery. Patient & his family members have profusely thanked Dr Mohapatra & his team in AMRI Hospitals Bhubaneswar for the successful Minimally invasive Bypass surgery with such a small incision and minimal pain. Open heart surgeries like Heart hole surgery, Heart Valve replacement surgery are regularly done in Minimally Invasive technique in AMRI Hospitals Bhubaneswar.
Minimally invasive Bypass Surgery has been done for the first time in our state said Dr Mohapatra. This Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery costs the same as normal Open-Heart Surgery & the cost of this surgery in our state is way lesser than that in other metro cities. The biggest advantages of this technique are freedom from a large scar over the
chest, minimal surgical pain, more patient comfort, less days of stay in the hospital and early return to regular activities. AMRI Hospitals Bhubaneswar is the first hospital in Odisha to offer complete range of Open-heart surgeries by Minimally Invasive technique for the benefit of the people of our state.
