Bangkok Heart Hospital, Thailand’s first private heart hospital, celebrates its 20th anniversary with the official launch of two cutting-edge procedures:
- MICS CABG – coronary artery bypass through a small incision without opening the chest for coronary artery disease
- Totally 3D Endoscopic Valve Surgery – valve repair or replacement using 3D imaging for heart valve diseases
Led by Dr. Matinee Maipang, CEO of BDMS Group 1 and Dr. Kriengkrai Hengrussamee Hospital Director – Bangkok Heart Hospital this marks a strategic milestone for the hospital, Thailand’s first private heart center, celebrates its 20th anniversary with a renewed commitment to precision medicine and regional leadership in minimally invasive cardiac care.
Having treated over a million patients with complex heart conditions, the hospital now offers next-generation procedures that minimize trauma with less pain while delivering outcomes comparable to traditional open-heart surgery. In fact, Dr. Nuttapon Arayawudhikul, cardiothoracic surgeon states that MICS CABG allows surgeons to perform bypass procedures through a 7–10 cm incision between the ribs, avoiding the need to open the chest or use a heart-lung machine. This approach is ideal for patients with isolated left coronary artery disease and offers faster recovery with fewer complications. In addition, Dr. Paradorn Jetwanna, cardiothoracic surgeon points out that The Totally 3D Endoscopic Valve Surgery can repair or replace valves through a 4–5 cm incision using high-resolution 3D imaging. Suitable for mitral and aortic valve procedures and even congenital defects like atrial septal defect (ASD), the technique improves surgical precision and accelerates recovery.
