Patiala doc performs invasive cardiac surgery

Patiala, March 22

Doctor from Patiala Virendar Sarwal, who is currently working as senior Director and Head of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery at Max Hospital, Mohali, has performed a minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) wherein the heart bypass is done through ribs without cutting the chest bones. 

  Dr Sarwal demonstrated live surgeries of this new technique at Max Hospital yesterday, along with world-renowned heart surgeon Dr Lucia Torracca, Chief of Cardiac Surgery Department, Ospedali Riuniti, Ancona, Italy. 

 “Unlike traditional heart surgery, return to normal life, including driving or other activities, is not disrupted and can be started almost immediately. — TNS
