Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS) is a modern surgical approach that offers the same life-saving benefits as traditional open-heart surgery—but with smaller incisions, faster recovery, and less trauma to the body. At Aashiyana Clinic, Dr. Monisha Madanmohan provides expert care in minimally invasive cardiac procedures for eligible adult patients.

As a board-certified cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon with extensive experience in both open and advanced minimally invasive techniques, Dr. Monisha uses MICS to treat conditions like coronary artery disease, valve disorders, and selected congenital heart defects. These procedures are performed through small incisions between the ribs, avoiding a full sternotomy (opening the chest bone), which significantly reduces pain, scarring, and hospital stay.

Common minimally invasive surgeries include:

  • Minimally invasive valve repair or replacement
  • Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB)
  • Repair of atrial septal defects (ASD)
  • Pericardial and tumor-related surgeries

Patients are carefully evaluated for their suitability for MICS based on their anatomy, overall health, and complexity of disease. Pre-operative imaging and consultations ensure a tailored surgical plan with a focus on safety, precision, and long-term outcomes.

Benefits of Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery include:

  • Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
  • Lower risk of infection and complications
  • Faster recovery and return to daily activities
  • Shorter hospital stays and reduced need for transfusions

Dr. Monisha works with a multidisciplinary team to ensure that patients receive high-quality perioperative care, including thorough counseling, post-operative monitoring, and follow-up rehabilitation.

When it comes to your heart, less can truly mean more—less pain, less downtime, and more life.
