Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a serious condition where coronary arteries become narrowed or blocked, primarily due to atherosclerosis. This process involves the accumulation of fatty deposits, cholesterol, and fibrin on the arteries’ inner walls, forming plaques that restrict oxygen-rich blood flow to the heart muscle. CAD is linked to lifestyle factors and underlying health conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diet, chronic stress, and a family history of heart disease. Symptoms include angina, chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, heart palpitations, and even heart attacks. Diagnosis involves a comprehensive evaluation, including a physical exam, blood tests, echocardiograms, stress tests, CAC scans, and angiograms. If blockages are severe or affect multiple arteries, double bypass surgery, also known as CABG, is recommended.
Robot-Guided Double Bypass (Off-Pump) is a minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting technique that treats significant blockages in two coronary arteries. The procedure uses advanced robotic systems, such as the da Vinci Surgical System, to perform bypasses without large incisions or heart-lung machines. The heart continues to beat during the operation, avoiding potential complications. The technique allows for 3D visualization and the harvesting of a healthy internal mammary artery, restoring blood flow to the heart muscle and improving cardiac function. The off-pump technique also leads to faster recovery and shorter hospital stays, making it an attractive option for patients seeking a quicker, less painful recovery.
Mr. Elamin Hussein Adam from Sudan successfully underwent Robot-Assisted Double Bypass at Yashoda Hospitals, Hyderabad, under the supervision of Dr. Vishal Khante, Consultant Cardiothoracic – Minimal Invasive Surgeon.
