Total Arterial Revascularization-LIMA-RIMA-Y Technique
Lima Rima Y Graft Surgery in Hyderabad
What is the Total Arterial Revascularization-LIMA-RIMA-Y Technique?
Total Arterial Revascularization, specifically using the LIMA-RIMA-Y Technique, is a coronary artery bypass procedure that exclusively uses arterial grafts rather than venous grafts. The Left Internal Mammary Artery (LIMA) and Right Internal Mammary Artery (RIMA) are utilized to create a Y-shaped graft, ensuring a robust and long-lasting blood supply to the heart. This technique is known for its superior patency rates and reduced risk of complications compared to traditional methods using vein grafts.
Conditions Treated with Total Arterial Revascularization-LIMA-RIMA-Y Technique
The Total Arterial Revascularization-LIMA-RIMA-Y Technique is primarily used to treat severe coronary artery disease (CAD), where the coronary arteries are significantly narrowed or blocked. Conditions treated with this technique include:
- Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease: When multiple coronary arteries are affected, this technique provides an effective solution for restoring blood flow.
- Severe Blockages: For patients with extensive arterial blockages that cannot be managed with angioplasty or stents.
- Recurrent Angina: Chronic chest pain that persists despite medication or less invasive treatments.
- Previous Failed Bypass Surgery: When previous vein grafts have failed, arterial revascularization offers a more durable alternative.
Procedure of Total Arterial Revascularization-LIMA-RIMA-Y Technique
At Onus Hospital, recognized as the best hospital for Total arterial revascularization-LIMA-RIMA-Y Technique in Hyderabad, the procedure is meticulously planned and executed. Here’s an overview of the process:
- Preoperative Assessment: Comprehensive evaluations, including imaging studies and cardiac tests, are conducted to determine the suitability of the procedure for each patient.
- Anesthesia: The patient is placed under general anesthesia to ensure comfort and immobility during the surgery.
- Harvesting Arteries: The LIMA and RIMA are carefully dissected from the chest wall, preserving their blood supply.
- Creating the Y-Graft: The LIMA is left attached to its origin, while the RIMA is grafted to the LIMA, forming a Y configuration. This Y-graft is then anastomosed to the coronary arteries needing revascularization.
- Bypass Grafting: The arterial grafts are attached to the coronary arteries beyond the blockages, restoring blood flow to the heart muscle.
- Closing the Incision: After the grafts are securely in place, the surgeon closes the chest incision, and the patient is moved to the intensive care unit (ICU) for close monitoring.
- Postoperative Care: Intensive monitoring, pain management, and physical therapy are provided to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal outcomes.
