Minimally invasive heart surgery involves making small cuts, called incisions, in the chest. This lets the surgeon reach the heart by going in between the ribs. The surgeon doesn't cut through the breastbone, as is done in traditional open-heart surgery.
Minimally invasive heart surgery can be used to treat many different heart conditions. Compared with open-heart surgery, this type of surgery often means less pain and a quicker recovery for many people.
Robot-assisted heart surgery and thoracoscopic surgery are types of minimally invasive heart surgery.
This involves using small incisions, often between the ribs, to access the heart and perform bypass surgery
This involves procedures related to the aorta, such as aortic aneurysm repair or aortic dissection repair.
Dr. Sudarshan is an accomplished minimally invasive and Robotic cardiothoracic and vascular surgeon with over 17 years of experience in the best cardiac centre in Bangalore. One of the best heart surgeon in Bangalore has trained extensively in India and UK, under world renowned surgeons.
He has keen interest in Adult Cardiothoracic Surgery, primarily in Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery and Robotic Cardiac surgery and Aortic Surgeries (including surgery for dissection, aneurysm and total arch replacement )
A proud moment for our entire cardiac surgery team as we mark a new milestone — performing 3 successful robotic cardiac surgeries in just one day.
This journey reflects not just technological advancement, but growing trust, refined skills, and a collective commitment to minimally invasive, patient-centric care.
Grateful to our surgical, anaesthesia, and nursing teams, and to the patients who placed their faith in us.
Robotic cardiac surgery is no longer the future — it's here, and it's growing.
Acute massive PE with cardiogenic shock
The key to good surgical outcome is early diagnosis and surgical referral. Recently we had 2 cases in early 20s , chronic smokers, one with history of trauma and immobilisation and other with liposuction procedure done 2 weeks ago. Both had gradual worsening of symptoms since a week and came in cardiogenic shock.
Endoscopic Aortic Valve replacement
Endoscopic Aortic Valve replacement in a symptomatic 70 yr old lady with severe AS with fixed severe AR and grade 3 osteoporosis. 4 cm RAT ( right anterior thoracotomy) incision, no bone cut, endoscopic assisted, excellent visualisation for decalcification and suture placement.
Robotic assisted ASD closure
70 yr old with tight long segment LAD disease, underwent Robotic LIMA harvesting with 4 CM incision over LAD and beating heart anastomosis using octopus nuvo.. Pt extubated on table, minimal analgesics, discharged on 3rd day
