Kolkata, Sep 24 (UNI) On the occasion of World Heart Day on September 29, the Apollo Gleneagles hospital today organised an awareness meet on the advancements and benefits of minimally invasive cardiac surgeries here.
In an interactive session, organised at the hospital auditorium, Director and Head, Department of Cardio Thoracic and Vascular Surgery Dr Sushan Mukhopadhyay spoke at length about the different minimally invasive cardiac surgeries undertaken at Apollo Gleneagles Hospitals, Kolkata. In his presentation, he highlighted the various advancements in the field, and emphasised the benefits that patients stand to gain from these procedures.
He said, "Minimally invasive cardiac surgeries allow us to ensure scar less operations, less pain, faster recovery, and overall better outcomes. As compared to the traditional methods, patients can look forward to a quicker return their normal routine, enhancing their productivity and quality of life."
Speaking on the occasion, president and CEO ER of Apollo Hospitals Group, India Dr Rupali Basu, observed, "Cardio vascular diseases account for over a third of all deaths globally, and are the largest cause for mortality in India, resulting in almost two million lives lost every year."
"The Global Status on Non-Communicable Diseases Report (2011), further goes on to say that this trend is growing at an alarming pace. With such advanced minimally invasive surgical options like the Bentall surgery, LIMA-RIMA Y and Endoscopic Vein Harvesting, we have initiated major steps to combat and overcome this trend. As these procedures require a shorter hospital stay, we are also ensuring that the risk of potential infections is minimized, and that vital healthcare resources are made available to a much wider patient base," she said.
