The Clinical Center of the University of Sarajevo became the owner of the most modern device for performing endoscopic and minimally invasive operations on the heart – a 3D endoscope. The LSI solutions company from New York, specialized in the development of high technologies, awarded the scientific and professional work of cardiac surgeon Nermir Granov, his team, and the Sarajevo Clinical Center with this modern device that should help patients with heart problems to continue a better quality of life.
A device, a 3D endoscope, with which minimally invasive and edoscopy operations are performed. It enables patients to go through the operation as easily as possible. Endoscopic cardiac surgery involves operations on the open heart or blood vessels of the heart without opening the chest. This is what it looks like in the operating room.

“This is an operation on the mitral valve. We practically entered through a small port and with the help of the camera we have a feeling of the third dimension, so this is a beating heart. We will now approach the mitral valve, open it practically.”
Credit for successfully performed operations also belongs to surgeons, anesthesiologists, cardiologists, and medical professionals, starting from the theater, through intensive care, to the ward and outpatient clinic, said Professor Granov.

“The anesthetic preparation of a patient undergoing cardiac surgery differs from the anesthetic preparation of other patients. Such patients require extremely extensive preoperative preparation.”
prof. Ph.D. ILIRIJANA HADŽIBEĆIRI KARABDIĆ, cardiac surgeon at KCUS
“This device enables us to have special approaches to heart surgery and facilitates a faster recovery for patients, so that the patient can go home on the fourth day after endoscopic surgery.”
Doctor Granov and his team at the Sarajevo Clinical Center point out that hard work pays off and is recognized, BHRT writes.
