Beating-Heart Surgery

Coronary bypass performed while the heart continues to beat, without stopping it and without the heart-lung machine.

Dr Tarek Helmy has performed off-pump, beating-heart coronary bypass surgery since 1996 — approximately 30 years in this field, with a reported success rate reaching 98%.

Recovery after beating-heart surgery may commonly take around two to three weeks, although recovery time varies from one patient to another.
