Cardiothoracic Surgery

Cardiothoracic Surgery

This surgical treatment works on the thoracic cavity organs including heart, lungs or esophagus and various parts of the chest.

Heart valve replacement, heart transplant, lung or esophageal cancers are specialty areas steered by top cardiothoracic surgeons. Their chief subspecialties are cardiac, thoracic and congenital.

Cardiac – adult cardiac surgery, mainly coronary heart disease and valve surgery is the increasing requirement of the senior or the nonagenarian population. Though these procedures are tough they are relatively safe with low mortality possibilities.

Thoracic – this treats diseased conditions of the lungs, chest wall, esophagus and diaphragm, and malignancy.

Congenital – the most challenging of surgeries are undertaken by a select group of qualified surgeons.

Services

Angioplasty

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA, or balloon angioplasty) opens up plaque-blocked arteries.
Stent placement

A stent or metal coil or tube is used to open up narrowed arteries
Ablation

Ablation treat abnormal heart rates and rhythms (arrhythmias).

Pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs)

These are put to use to rectify irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias).
Open-heart surgery

Open-heart surgeries are performed to treat blockages in the coronary arteries and restore deviant problems of the heart valves, treat heart ailments.
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) involves use of a vein or artery from any other part of the body to bypass a blocked coronary artery.
Heart valve repair or replacement

This involves surgery to repair or replace heart valves
Ventricular assist devices

These are implantable pumps used to treat heart failure.
Heart transplant

Diseased or malfunctioning heart is replaced with a new heart from a human organ contributor.
Carotid surgery

This simple procedure eliminates plaque from carotid arteries (the main arteries in the neck that minister blood to the brain)

Treatments

Adult Cardiac Surgery

CABG Valvular replacement/repairs Aortic Surgeries (Bentall operation, Aorta replacement)
Valve Replacement

Replacing a diseased valve with a new prosthetic one treats acute valvular diseases including aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation, mitral stenosis, mitral regurgitation, and other valvular lesions.
Aneurysm Repair

A small balloon-like projection may crop up in any part of the arterial wall. These are surgically treated and prevented from bursting and creating complexities
Vascular Repair

Vascular repair treats ailments of the vascular system, and improvise circulation of blood
CABG

Coronary Artery Bypass Graft, is a surgical procedure performed on patients suffering from coronary artery disease, which prevents the normal flow of oxygenated blood to the heart. An alternative route is created for the blood flow by bypassing the diseased route using a healthy blood vessel removed from some other part of the body.
VATS

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery involves treatment of various ailments of the chest, by helping surgeons examine the chest cavity without resorting to incisions
Congenital heart disease

Birth defects result in congenital heart diseases, and may be categorized into Cyanotic and Acyanotic. Problems of breathing, feeding, swelling and the like may be required to be treated surgically.
