Bihar Patient Receives Minimally Invasive Heart Surgery in Raipur
A 22-year-old man from Bihar was born with a small opening between two upper parts of his heart.
He had been waiting for treatment after visiting another cardiac institution in Raipur.
Doctors at Artemis Shanti Hospital examined him and decided that a smaller-incision operation was suitable for his condition.
They closed the opening through a cut about 4 cm long.
They did not need to cut his breastbone, and the reported blood loss was about 20 ml.
The hospital says this kind of operation is not right for every patient.
Doctors choose the approach after considering a patient’s heart, overall health and other clinical details.
The patient and his family felt relief after the successful procedure.
A 22-year-old patient from Bihar with a congenital atrial septal defect underwent surgery at Artemis Shanti Hospital in Raipur.
The hospital’s multidisciplinary heart team assessed him and selected minimally invasive surgery to close the defect.
Surgeons made an incision of approximately 4 cm without cutting through the breastbone.
The procedure resulted in about 20 ml of blood loss.
The hospital said the operation followed the launch of its cardiothoracic and vascular surgery programme, with its first procedure performed on August 25, 2026.
