A significant paradigm shift has been observed as cardiovascular surgery increasingly adopts minimally invasive techniques due to the lesser pain and quicker recovery involved with such methods. Moreover, the development of novel technologies and improved surgical procedures have brought rapid evolution in minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) over the past two decades. This trend continues to grow as more efficient endoscopic, robotic, and transcatheter procedures become available. But limited studies on the effectiveness of MICS over standardized surgical approaches necessitate a thorough evaluation and a patient-centric approach to deciding the best MICS procedure.

Join us for an exclusive session on “Towards Less Invasive Cardiac Surgery” with eminent cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Vijit K. Cherian  to learn about the pros and cons of MICS on 8 th January 2023, 3:00 PM IST…
