Dr. Raja Lahiri, surgeon of the Department of Cardiothoracic and Blood Vessel Surgery (CTVS), AIIMS, said that after angiography by cardiologist Dr. Barun Kumar, the blockage in the heart was detected and the team decided to do bypass surgery. Dr. Lahiri said that for the first time in AIIMS, minimally invasive total arterial coronary artery bypass surgery has been done on a patient. According to Dr. Anshuman Darbari, head of the CTVS department, this surgery was high risk as the patient was in his old age, but after 4 hours of hard work in the OT, it was successfully completed with team work.

In coronary artery disease, there is a blockage in the arteries that carry blood to the heart muscles. This increases the risk of heart attack for the patient. Dr. Darbari said that bypass surgery is an important treatment for this disease. Generally, bypass surgery is done by opening the chest of the patient after making an incision in his chest. But in this, no incision was made. He said that till now the department has done bypass surgery of more than 250 patients in AIIMS. This is the first surgery which has been done without cutting the chest bone.

Symptoms-
Due to coronary artery disease, there is a problem of chest pain, heaviness or nervousness while walking fast or climbing uphill. Along with this, the patient starts feeling breathless and apart from the heartbeat increasing, he starts feeling tired again and again. The patient can get a heart attack anytime.
