Heart surgery doesn’t always require putting the heart on a machine. At Dr K G Deshpande Memorial Centre, OPCAB (Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass) is a widely adopted procedure, especially for patients with higher risks or co-morbidities.
By performing bypass surgery on a beating heart, OPCAB reduces the risk of stroke, kidney failure, and cognitive issues associated with conventional methods. The hospital’s skilled team also performs completion angiography during each procedure, verifying results before the patient even leaves the OT.
If you've been advised a bypass, it's worth understanding all the options. OPCAB is not just safer in many cases—it may also reduce your hospital stay and overall recovery time.
