Dr. Rahul Kaiche states that he becomes the first surgeon in Maharashtra to use the technique of using titanium plates for closing the mamory sternum bone after the open heart bypass surgery.

The patient Bashir Sayyed Noor, a tractor mechanic had consulted Dr Kaiche for a CABG - bypass surgery after having done his angiography. The patient weighed 100 kg and has been a chronic smoker.
In such patients, there is a possibility that the wires that are traditionally used in CABG surgeries to close the sternum bone break off due to pressure. “This may lead to complications and infections for the patient. Recent research has opened the alternatives to such risks and it is in form of titanium plates - 2 H shaped and one U shaped fitted by titanium screws", Dr Kaiche informs.
