Heart Surgeries in India:Indian Hospitals have been know worldwide for the advanced critical cardiac healthcare services.

The success rates of heart surgery in India has surpassed 99% in most of the Indian hospitals.

Procedures like bypass surgery, angioplasty, stents placements and atherectomy are being performed everyday in large numbers both for domestic as well as international patients coming to India for seeking treatments to cardiovascular problems.




Non-invasive Cardiology:Electrocardiography:Electrocardiography is a interpretation of the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time, as detected by electrodes attached to the surface of the skin and recorded by a device external to the body.

Echocardiography:Echocardiography is now a widely accepted as a useful technique for diagnosing and managing a range of congenital and acquired heart diseases.




Minimal Invasive Cardiology:Because of the damage to the tissues of the delicate organs in an invasive cardiac procedure, like the open heart surgery, a new range of techniques performed through very small incisions have been introduced collectively called the minimally invasive cardiac surgeries. The incisions required by the minimally invasive surgeries are of the order of 2-3 inches as compared to the incisions required by invasive techniques which are of the order of 6-8 inches. A minimally invasive cardiac procedure is generally a robotic assisted surgery in which the surgeon uses a strategically designed computer setup that controls the surgical instruments using thin robotic arms.




Coronary Angiography:Coronary Angiography or arteriography is a medical imaging technique used to visualize the inside, or lumen, of blood vessels and organs of the body, with particular interest in the arteries, veins and the heart chambers. The arteries could be obstructed due to the accumulation of fatty materials like the cholesterol and triglyceride, and thus allowing very less blood to travel through them.




Angioplasty:Angioplasty is a medical procedure to open wide the obstructed or blocked arteries of the heart. Arteries are the small muscular tubes transporting blood from the heart to other parts of the body. The arteries could be thickened or completely blocked due to the accumulation of fatty materials like the cholesterol and triglyceride, and thus allowing very less blood to travel through them An empty and collapsed balloon on a guide wire, known as a balloon catheter, is passed into the narrowed locations and then inflated.




Open Heart Surgery:Open heart surgery is any surgery where the chest is opened and surgery is done on the heart muscle, valves, arteries, or other parts of the heart (such as the aorta). The term "open" means that the chest is "cut" open. It comes under invasive cardiology meaning that the heart tissues are cut or an incision is made to enter the organ. A lot of overseas patients come here for open heart surgery in India as it is one of the most frequent and complex procedure performed with high success rates in India.




Valve Replacement Surgery:Valve replacement surgery is the replacement of one or more of the heart valves with either an artificial heart valve or a bioprosthesis (homograft from human tissue or xenograft e.g. from pig). It is an alternative to valve repair. Valvular heart disease accounts for nearly 10 to 20 percent of the all the cardiac procedures in the United States.Around two-thirds of all the heart valve operations under heart surgery in India are for aortic valve replacements, most often for aortic stenosis.




Aortic Valve Replacement:Aortic valve replacement is a procedure in which a patient's failing aortic valve is replaced with an alternate healthy valve. The aortic valve can be affected by a range of diseases; the valve can either become leaky (aortic insufficiency / regurgitation) or partially blocked (aortic stenosis). Current aortic valve replacement approaches include open heart surgery, minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) and minimally invasive, catheter-based (percutaneous) aortic valve replacement.




Coronary Artery Bypass Graft:Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) , and colloquially heart bypass or bypass surgery is a surgical procedure performed to relieve angina and reduce the risk of death from coronary artery disease. Arteries or veins from elsewhere in the patient's body are grafted to the coronary arteries to bypass atherosclerotic narrowings and improve the blood supply to the coronary circulation supplying the myocardium (heart muscle). The grafts used could come from the arteries and veins of the patient, from the chest, leg or arm.




Cardiac Pacemaker installation:In a person with cardiosvascular diseases, sometimes the right and the left ventricles are not in sync while pumping blood. As a result sometimes the left ventricles is not able to pump enough blood to the body and thus inducing symptoms of heart failure like shortness of breath, an increased heartbeat, fatigue and dry cough. A pacemaker is a medical device that uses electrical impulses, delivered by electrodes contacting the heart muscles, to regulate the beating of the heart.




Pediatric heart surgery:Open-heart surgery is when the surgeon uses a heart-lung bypass machine.

An incision is made through the breastbone (sternum) while the child is under general anesthesia (the child is unconscious and does not feel pain).

Tubes are used to re-route the blood through a special pump called a heart-lung bypass machine.

Using the machine allows the heart to be stopped. Stopping the heart makes it possible to repair the heart muscle itself, the heart valves, or the blood vessels outside the heart.
