Speciality Category Cardiothoracic vascular Surgery

Cardiothoracic vascular surgery is a specialized field focused on diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the body’s arteries and veins. Our goal is to restore healthy blood flow and ensure optimal vascular health for our patients.

Surgical Treatment of Heart Failure: Heart failure can be treated by –
Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG):
• Coronary arteries narrow with the build-up of plaque and eventually block the oxygen-rich blood flow.
• Healthy blood vessels or grafts from the chest, wrist, or arm are used to bypass the blocked arteries and restore normal blood flow
Valve Surgery :
• In the advanced stages of heart failure, papillary muscles weaken and stretch out of shape leading to the leaky mitral valve.
• Valve surgery is performed to either replace the weakened value or repair the value by supporting it with a ring.
Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD):
• Also known as a ventricular assist system (VAS), LVAD is a battery-operated mechanical pump that is surgically implanted in patients with last-stage heart failure.
• For patients awaiting a heart transplant, or those who are unable to undergo a heart transplant, this is a life-saving option.
Percutaneous Mitral Valve Repair (PMVR):
• The abnormal reverse flow of blood from the left ventricle to the left atrium is called mitral valve regurgitation.
• PMVR, also known as mitral clip procedure, is a minimally invasive procedure in which a mitral clip is implanted in the damaged value to prevent the reverse flow of blood.
