An
advanced technique of bypass surgery, LIMA – RIMA -Y on beating heart is
now available at a private hospital here . In this technique arterial grafts is
used instead of venous grafts. Addressing a press conference at Chandigarh Press
Club on Wednesday, Dr Shashi Jindal,
head of cardio thoracic & vascular surgery at Alchemist said that in a
conventional technique of bypass surgery we use leg veins to reroute the blood
. In this technique , life of these venous conduits is not much and it does
match with the life expectancy of young patients thereby requires to re-do
bypass after 8 or 10 years. In this advance technique, arterial grafts is
used instead of venous grafts that sustains for 18 to 20 years and thus
virtually eliminate the need for 2nd bypass any time in life, said Dr
Jindal adding and also there is no need to cut open arms and legs in this
technique.

Dr Arvind Kaul and Dr Rohit Parti both senior cardiologists said that this is a
demanding operation that requires a highest level of surgical skills and
training . Only 4% surgeons in USA and 11% in UK and very few in India are
trained to perform this procedure routinely. But this surgery is routinely
performed in Alchemist by the team of skilled doctors without any extra cost,
informed Dr. Shailesh Ojha, HOD – cardiac anaesthesia.
