MICS-AVR - Dr. Kishor Deore

MICS-AVR stands for Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery - Aortic Valve Replacement. It's a surgical procedure used to replace a diseased or malfunctioning aortic valve with a new valve, utilizing minimally invasive techniques that involve smaller incisions compared to traditional open-heart surgery. The aortic valve is responsible for regulating blood flow from the heart's left ventricle into the aorta, the main artery that carries oxygen-rich blood to the body.

Advantages of MICS-AVR:

• Smaller incisions lead to less pain and scarring.
• Shorter hospital stay and faster overall recovery.
• Reduced risk of infection and complications.
• Minimized trauma to the chest and surrounding tissues.
• Suitable for patients with certain types of aortic valve conditions.
