Robotic-Assisted Coronary Bypass for Ischaemic Heart Disease
Patient
68-year-old male, Democratic Republic of Congo
Patient Testimonial
Clinical Context
The patient was diagnosed with ischaemic heart disease with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction and mild left ventricular hypertrophy. Local evaluation confirmed the need for revascularisation. Advanced minimally invasive cardiac surgery options were not available locally.
Care Pathway
The case was reviewed by leading Indian cardiac surgeons. Cardiac findings supported surgical revascularisation using a minimally invasive approach. A consensus recommendation was reached for robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass surgery. A multidisciplinary video consultation aligned treatment planning with the patient, family, and Jivo Doctor Partner.
Treatment
Further evaluation in India, including coronary angiography, confirmed disease anatomy suitable for robotic-assisted bypass. Robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass surgery was performed.
Outcome and Continuity
Post-operative outcomes included resolution of cardiac symptoms and return to active daily function. Follow-up care continues in the home country under Jivo Doctor Partner supervision. A six-month review confirmed sustained clinical stability.
Case Insight
This case demonstrates how specialist consensus, robotic-assisted cardiac surgery, and structured follow-up enable effective revascularisation with durable outcomes when advanced cardiac care is not available locally.
