DESUN INTRODUCES NEW STANDARDS IN HEART BYPASS
Say goodbye to traditional Coronary Bypass Surgery (CABG). Minimally Invasive Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (MICAS or MICS CABG) is making headlines as surgery is the newest and safest form of heart bypass surgery in India.
Why? Find out for yourself!
ADVANTAGE MICS CABG

It is practically impossible to say that a heart operation has been done. Minimally invasive incisions measure about 2 to 3 inches compared to 8 to 10 inches needed for CABG.
2. Shorter Hospital Stay. Faster Recovery.
Unlike a traditional heart surgery, return to normal life including driving and other activities is not disrupted and can be started almost immediately.
3. Minimal Blood Loss.
Eliminates requirement of blood transfusion and eliminates blood borne infection.
4. Minimal Chances of Infection.
Ideal for diabetic and older patients who have poor resistance to infection.
5. Fewer Physical Restrictions.
Patients undergoing minimally invasive cardiac surgery are not subject to restrictions such as driving or lifting objects weighing more than 5 pounds.
