Anaesthesia for off pump coronary artery bypass- Recent updates by Dr Nikhil Mudgalkar

“…India is considered as a hub for cardiac patient.There is exponential increase in number of patients across the globe as well as in india.As diagnostic modalities (facilites for invasive cardiac imaging) are increasing day by day, more and more patients are being subjected for percutaneous coronary angioplasties and bypass surgeries. The basic difference between western scenario and indian scenario is indian surgeons are more favouring technically more challenging off pump coronary artery bypass technique vs western surgeon who are more inclined towards less challenging on pump surgeries1 . …”
