Beating Heart Surgery

Dr Saeed Akhtar provides cardiac surgical consultation in Kanpur for patients requiring treatment for coronary artery disease and other heart conditions. Beating heart surgery, also known as off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (OPCAB), is a surgical technique in which coronary bypass grafting is performed while the heart continues to beat, without using a heart-lung machine. The suitability of this approach depends on the patient's condition, coronary artery anatomy, and overall health. A detailed cardiac evaluation helps determine the most appropriate treatment option.
