TCRAT stands for Total Coronary Revascularization via Anterior Thoracotomy – a revolutionary, minimally invasive technique for heart bypass surgery.
Unlike traditional bypass surgery that involves cutting through the chest bone (sternotomy),
TCRAT is performed through a small incision between the ribs on the left side of the chest.
MICS stands for Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery – a group of surgical techniques that treat heart conditions through small incisions instead of opening the chest.
♦ Valve replacements (aortic or mitral)
♦ Coronary artery bypass in selected patients
♦ Smaller cuts (2–3 inches)
♦ Less blood loss
♦ Shorter hospital stay
♦ Faster return to daily life
♦ Cosmetically better outcomes (especially for young patients)
TCRAT is slightly more expensive than standard bypass surgery because it uses specialized instruments and techniques. However, the shorter hospital stay, quicker recovery, and fewer complications can make it more cost-effective overall. You can discuss cost estimates and insurance coverage with the hospital’s billing team.
