A Revolution in Cardiac Surgery
Heart surgery has evolved tremendously over the years—from long, open-chest operations requiring heart-lung machines to modern, minimally invasive procedures performed on a beating heart. At AB Heart Care, under the expert guidance of Dr. Ashwani Bansal, one of North India’s leading cardiac surgeons, patients now experience faster recovery, reduced complications, and improved long-term outcomes.
What Is Beating Heart Surgery?
Traditionally, bypass surgery required stopping the heart and connecting the patient to a heart-lung machine (cardiopulmonary bypass).
In beating heart surgery, also known as off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB), the heart continues to beat while the surgeon operates. This eliminates the need for the heart-lung machine, reducing risks and complications.
Dr. Bansal, the heart specialist in Chandigarh and his team use advanced stabilizing instruments to keep a small section of the heart still, allowing precise grafting while the rest of the heart continues to pump blood naturally.
Why Choose Beating Heart Surgery?
✅ 1. Less Trauma, Faster Recovery
With smaller incisions and no use of a heart-lung machine, patients experience less tissue trauma and shorter hospital stays.
✅ 2. Reduced Risk of Complications
By maintaining natural circulation, this approach minimizes the risk of:
- Stroke or neurological issues
- Kidney complications
- Inflammation or memory loss post-surgery
✅ 3. Ideal for Elderly and High-Risk Patients
Patients with diabetes, hypertension, or multiple blockages benefit significantly, as the technique reduces post-operative strain.
✅ 4. Enhanced Long-Term Results
Studies show that off-pump procedures maintain excellent graft function and heart performance over time.
