As a result, the patients would not have any need to stay at the hospital for treatment. This was according to the Head of the Centre of Excellence at SIMS, Dr. V.V. Bakshi. He is also the Director of the Institute of Cardiac and Aortic Disorders.
It was later brought out by Dr. Rajkamal Vishnu, cardiothoracic surgeon that this centre would focus on ribcage disorders that change the chest dynamics leading to breathing problems etc. He hinted that titanium rods could be used for the procedures. He concluded that the normal anatomy of the rib cage would be preserved.
