Beating Heart Surgery, known in medical parlance as Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery, briefly known as OPCAB, is a complicated procedure.

In simple terms the surgery is being done without stopping the heart, or even while the heart is beating normally. In the traditional Bypass surgery, the heart beat is stopped for the duration of the surgery, and, the blood flow and breathing of the patient is sustainedthrough the heart-lung machine.

Once this surgical procedure is decided after due considerations, the surgeon does the sternotomy or cuts the sternum (breastbone) to reach the heart cavity. With a specialized device, the operable portion of the heart is kept steady.The blocked artery is bypassed by grafting a healthy artery or a vein.

The Beating Heart Surgery has many advantages: it could sidestep the issues associated with the heart-lung machine such as infection and inflammation.Under this procedure, the patient requires short hospital stay, gets less chances of getting a stroke, and not much of blood transfusions.
