The Future of Cardiac Surgery-Kenya

Advancing the Future of Cardiac Surgery in Kenya

Last week, Antarc hosted a focused gathering of cardiac surgeons and perfusionists from across Kenya.
Our goal was simple: to create a space where clinical teams could discuss current challenges, share successful cases, and explore new technology designed to support safer and more efficient cardiac surgery.

A Look Inside the Event

To begin, the session opened with real-world case presentations.
Surgeons walked the audience through recent cardiac procedures, explaining the techniques used, the patient conditions, and the factors that led to successful outcomes. These stories set the tone for the day:practical, data-driven and grounded in clinical experience.

After the case reviews, we introduced the new Heart-Lung Machine, designed to provide stable perfusion support during complex cardiac procedures.
During the demonstration, we highlighted several key features, including:

  • Consistent flow control

  • Improved monitoring accuracy

  • Streamlined setup for reduced operating room time

  • A user-friendly interface for perfusion teams

Following the presentation, a detailed Q&A session took place. Clinicians asked technical questions about system reliability, safety checks, maintenance needs and workflow integration. This exchange allowed for clearer understanding and deeper clinical insight.

Why These Discussions Matter

Cardiac surgery depends on precision, teamwork, and dependable equipment.


Furthermore, many attendees spoke about the pressure to deliver safe outcomes while managing high workloads and limited resources. They emphasized the need for tools that:

  • Support accurate, real-time decision-making

  • Reduce manual steps

  • Improve consistency during bypass

  • Offer strong after-sales training and support

In response to these needs, our Heart-Lung Machine was engineered to fit into existing operating room workflows while enhancing stability and performance during surgery.

Moving Forward

As the event concluded, it became clear that the discussion had opened the door to deeper partnerships with hospitals across the country.
Several facilities expressed interest in hands-on training, on-site trials and further clinical conversations. Consequently, this response confirmed the growing need for modern perfusion systems that align with Kenya’s expanding cardiac care programs.

At Antarc, we remain committed to supporting cardiac teams with technology that enhances safety, efficiency, and clinical confidence. We look forward to building long-term collaborations that help advance cardiac care in Kenya.

If your institution is evaluating perfusion systems or seeking ways to advance its cardiac surgery program, we can help evaluate it, run on-site demonstrations and support implementation and training.
