A team of doctors at Oman's Sultan Qaboos University Hospital recently performed a rare cardiac surgery for the first time in the Middle East. The procedure involved coronary artery bypass surgery carried out on a beating heart through a left anterior (just below the heart) Thoracotomy (the making of an incision in the chest wall) for triple vessel disease. However, instead of a 14-inch vertical incision on the chest bone, the doctors made a seven-inch horizontal incision below the flat chest bone, enabling them to avoid use of a heart-lung machine.
