El Dr. Antonio Benita Bordes es un cirujano cardiovascular y torácico de gran prestigio en México, con una carrera profesional centrada en el tratamiento quirúrgico de enfermedades cardíacas y pulmonares tanto en adultos como en pacientes pediátricos. Su formación médica ha sido exhaustiva y abarca desde la cirugía general hasta especializaciones avanzadas en cardiocirugía pediátrica y torácica. A continuación, se presenta un desarrollo detallado de su formación académica, especialidades clínicas, logros profesionales y su participación en el ámbito académico y en instituciones de prestigio.

1. Formación Académica y Especializaciones

El Dr. Benita Bordes se graduó de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), una de las instituciones de educación médica más reconocidas del país. Posteriormente, realizó su especialización en cirugía general en el Hospital Ángeles Pedregal, un hospital privado de alta especialidad ubicado en la Ciudad de México. Su deseo de avanzar en el campo de la cirugía cardiovascular lo llevó a continuar su formación en el Instituto Nacional de Cardiología Ignacio Chávez (INCICH), uno de los centros más importantes para el tratamiento de enfermedades cardíacas en México, donde completó su especialización en cirugía cardiotorácica.

Su enfoque en enfermedades cardíacas congénitas lo llevó a realizar una subespecialización en cirugía de malformaciones congénitas del corazón en el INCICH, institución en la que actualmente está adscrito como cirujano y profesor titular del curso de cirugía cardiotorácica pediátrica. 

Esta formación adicional le ha permitido tratar a niños con enfermedades cardíacas congénitas complejas, lo que ha sido clave para su reputación como uno de los principales cirujanos pediátricos en esta especialidad​.

2. Trayectoria Clínica y Cirugías Especializadas

El Dr. Benita Bordes se ha especializado en cirugía cardiovascular y torácica, con un enfoque particular en la cirugía cardíaca infantil. Dentro de su práctica, ha realizado una variedad de cirugías complejas, incluyendo la reconstrucción de aneurismas periféricos, la reparación de coartación de aorta, la resección de costillas en casos de síndrome de salida torácica, y la sutura de esternón en pacientes que requieren estabilización del tórax después de cirugías cardíacas.

Entre los procedimientos en los que es experto, se encuentran la cirugía de cardiopatías congénitas, tanto con como sin circulación extracorpórea (CEC), lo que lo convierte en un especialista en el tratamiento de condiciones como comunicaciones auriculoventriculares, atresia tricuspídea, aneurismas de la aorta torácica, y la anomalía de Ebstein, entre otras​. 

Asimismo, realiza cirugías de arritmias y ofrece soporte cardiopulmonar a pacientes que requieren intervenciones quirúrgicas de alto riesgo.

3. Enfermedades Tratadas y Procedimientos

El Dr. Antonio Benita Bordes trata una amplia gama de condiciones relacionadas con el corazón y el tórax, incluyendo:

• Cardiopatías congénitas, como la atresia tricuspídea, comunicación interauricular, y drenaje venoso pulmonar anómalo total.
• Aneurismas de la aorta torácica, los cuales requieren cirugías de alta precisión para evitar complicaciones graves.
• Anomalías cardíacas como la anomalía de Taussig-Bing y el síndrome de Ebstein​.

Dentro de los procedimientos más destacados que realiza están la colocación de marcapasos endovenosos y marcapasos epicárdicos, la toracoscopia terapéutica, la revascularización de aneurismas periféricos, y la pericardiectomía (extracción del pericardio). Además, es experto en procedimientos para la reparación de coartaciones de la aorta y en la cirugía de fístulas sistémico-pulmonares​.

Una de las cirugías más complejas que realiza es el tratamiento del tórax inestable, una condición que ocurre cuando las costillas se fracturan de manera que el tórax pierde estabilidad, afectando la capacidad respiratoria del paciente. La reparación de estas fracturas requiere de un abordaje quirúrgico especializado para asegurar la estabilidad torácica.

4. Posición en Instituciones y Docencia

El Dr. Benita Bordes tiene una posición destacada como adscrito al departamento de cirugía cardiotorácica del Instituto Nacional de Cardiología Ignacio Chávez (INCICH). En esta institución, además de realizar cirugías complejas, tiene una importante labor docente como profesor titular del curso de cirugía cardiotorácica pediátrica. Su experiencia en la enseñanza médica ha sido fundamental para la formación de nuevos cirujanos en el campo de la cardiocirugía, especialmente en el tratamiento de malformaciones congénitas del corazón​.

Adicionalmente, es miembro de importantes asociaciones médicas, como la Sociedad Mexicana de Cirugía Cardíaca, la Sociedad Mexicana de Cardiología, y la World Society for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery, lo que le permite mantenerse al día con los avances internacionales en el campo de la cirugía cardíaca y contribuir al desarrollo de nuevas técnicas y procedimientos.

5. Logros y Reconocimientos

La carrera del Dr. Antonio Benita Bordes ha sido destacada no solo por sus logros en el quirófano, sino también por su participación en el ámbito académico y su contribución al desarrollo de nuevas generaciones de cirujanos en México. Su enfoque en cirugía de cardiopatías congénitas ha salvado la vida de numerosos niños con malformaciones cardíacas complejas, lo que ha tenido un impacto positivo tanto en su salud como en su calidad de vida.
