Rangsit General Hospital (PHG) Pioneers “Heart Without Stopping” Surgery Technique
Rangsit General Hospital (PHG) has recently made a groundbreaking advancement in heart bypass surgery by introducing the technique of “heart without stopping during surgery.” This innovative approach eliminates the need for the traditional use of an artificial heart-lung machine during surgery, reducing complications for heart disease patients.
Heart bypass surgery is a common treatment for patients with ischemic heart disease, typically involving the use of surgical techniques to stop the heart beating and employing a heart-lung machine to support the lungs and heart. However, the use of the heart-lung machine can lead to side effects such as inflammation, lung and kidney dysfunction, and even paralysis.
The introduction of the Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (OPCAB) technique at Rangsit Hospital aims to mitigate these surgical complications by allowing surgeons to perform bypass surgery without interrupting the heartbeat or using an artificial heart and lung machine.
Dr. Kunat Sathapondecha, a Thoracic and Cardiac Surgery Doctor at Rangsit Hospital, emphasized the benefits of the new technique, stating that it reduces the risk of heart attack, kidney failure, inflammation, and paralysis, ultimately enabling heart disease patients to recover and resume their normal lives more quickly.
While the OPCAB technique offers significant advantages in reducing complications for high-risk heart disease patients, it requires a high level of expertise from the medical team. Rangsit General Hospital is proud to be the first and only private hospital in Pathum Thani and northern Bangkok to offer bypass surgery without stopping the heartbeat and without using an artificial heart and lung machine.
With the expansion of this capability, Rangsit General Hospital reaffirms its commitment to providing efficient and comprehensive care for heart disease patients, enabling them to regain a good quality of life post-surgery.
