Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Combined serratus anterior plane block and transversus thoracis plane blockExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The study group will receive a combined plane block by a dedicated anesthesia team prior to their procedure. 20 mL of local anesthetic (0.25% bupivacaine) will be injected for the Serratus anterior plane block and another 20 mL of local anesthetic (0.25% bupivacaine) will be injected in transversus thoracis plane block
Group II: Stand local anesthetic infiltrationActive Control1 Intervention
Local anesthetic infiltration of the incision sites will be performed by the cardiologist prior to, and as, necessary during the procedure. The amount of local anesthetic used will be determined intraoperatively by the cardiologist according to the patients' requirements.
