Minimally Invasive (“Key-Hole”) Surgery
Bypass surgery often required incisions the lower limbs for the purposes for “harvesting” vein to construct the new arteries on the heart.
In many cases, it is possible to leave only small cuts in the leg.
Many patients complain that the major problem they experience is the cuts in their legs. They complain of discomfort and swelling. Infection frequently occurs.
Using this minimally invasive technique, it is possible to have bypass surgery with only small cuts in the thigh or leg.
This photograph was taken four weeks after
the bypass operation. Please note the small incisions.
