What are the Benefits?

Cardiothoracic surgeries play a crucial role in addressing various cardiovascular issues. Here are some surgeries that can be beneficial:

• Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG):
  • CABG helps open up coronary arteries that have narrowed due to the accumulation of fatty plaques.
  • A surgeon grafts a healthy blood vessel (often from another part of the body) to bypass the blocked or narrowed section of the coronary artery, improving blood flow to the heart.
• Repairing Weakened Heart Muscle:
  • Cardiothoracic surgeries, such as ventricular aneurysm repair, can address weakened areas of the heart muscle.
  • Surgeons may remove or reinforce damaged portions, improving the heart's ability to pump blood effectively.
• Correcting Heart Defects:
  • Cardiothoracic procedures are employed to repair congenital heart defects or abnormalities present from birth.
  • These surgeries aim to restore normal heart structure and function, ensuring optimal circulation.
• Treating Heart Rhythm Disorders:
  • Surgical interventions, like the maze procedure, can be performed to correct irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias).
  • By creating controlled scar tissue in the heart, surgeons can redirect the electrical signals, restoring a more regular heart rhythm.
• Valve Repair or Replacement:
  • Cardiothoracic surgeries may involve repairing or replacing damaged heart valves.
  • This can improve blood flow, prevent leakage or narrowing of valves, and enhance overall heart function.
• Aortic Aneurysm Repair:
  • Surgeons can address aortic aneurysms, where the main blood vessel (aorta) becomes enlarged.
  • Repair may involve replacing the weakened portion of the aorta with a synthetic graft, reducing the risk of rupture.
• Heart Transplantation:
  • In cases of severe heart failure, cardiothoracic surgery can include heart transplantation.
  • A damaged heart is replaced with a healthy donor heart, providing a life-saving treatment option.
• Minimally Invasive Techniques:
  • Advancements in cardiothoracic surgery have led to minimally invasive procedures.
  • These techniques often result in smaller incisions, reduced recovery times, and less postoperative discomfort for patients.

What are the risks associated with Cardiovascular surgeries?

All surgeries come with potential risks. Risks and potential complications associated with cardiothoracic surgeries comprise:

• Severe responses to the anesthesia administered during the procedure.
• Hemorrhage or infection occurring at the surgical site.
• Formation of blood clots or bleeding within the brain.
• Rare incidents of stroke, seizures, or damage to the brain.
• Occurrence of a heart attack.
• Damage to nerves, esophagus, or trachea (windpipe), resulting in possible hoarseness or difficulty in swallowing.
• Accumulation of plaque within the arteries.

The key procedures performed at CARE Hospitals

As the best heart surgery hospital in Hyderabad, CARE Hospitals always strives to provide the best medical treatment to its patients in order to achieve the highest success rate. 

Key Procedures We Follow Include:

Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG): Circulating blood is diverted around a portion of a blocked artery in your heart during a procedure called a cardiac bypass to deliver blood to the heart muscle. The objective of coronary bypass surgery is to bypass a diseased or blocked area of the heart by using a healthy blood vessel from your leg, arm, chest or abdomen. Blood circulation to your heart is improved after coronary bypass surgery. 

Coronary Angiogram: Coronary angiograms use X-ray imaging to examine blood vessels in the heart. These procedures fall under the general heading of heart catheterization (cardiac catheterization). Catheterizations can be performed to diagnose and treat both heart and vascular conditions. The most common type of heart catheterization procedure is a coronary angiogram, which helps diagnose heart conditions.

LVAD Implantation: An implantable mechanical pump called a ventricular assist device (VAD) assists the heart in pumping blood to the rest of your body from its ventricles. People with heart failure or weakened hearts may require VADs. Usually, VADs are placed in the left ventricle of the heart, but they can also be placed in the right and both ventricles. Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are placed in the left ventricle.

Paediatric Cardiac Surgery: CARE Hospitals offers one of the most extensive divisions in the country dedicated to children’s heart health. We have treated children all over the country with congenital heart problems, including non-invasive diagnostics, cardiac catheterisations and cardiothoracic surgeries. Children and newborns with complex heart problems have been subjected to heart surgeries.

Coronary Angioplasty: This procedure involves the opening of clogged coronary arteries by using a catheter. It is also known as a percutaneous coronary intervention. To help widen an artery, a tiny balloon is temporarily inserted and inflated in the clogged area. Balloon angioplasty can alleviate chest pain, shortness of breath, and other symptoms of blocked arteries. In the event of a heart attack, angioplasty can also be used to open a blocked artery and reduce the amount of damage inflicted on your heart.

As part of our advanced diagnostic techniques, our experts use techniques such as OCT (optical coherence tomography), IVUS (intravascular ultrasound) and more to provide them with a clear and high-resolution image of the arteries and blockages, which further assists them in performing angioplasty.

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS): By using MICS, it may be possible for cardiac patients to return to normal life after only a few weeks. Because of our fast-paced lives and our desire to spend as much time as possible with our loved ones, MICS offers a quick recovery period of 10 days.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR): In the transcatheter procedure for replacing an aortic valve that has become narrowed and is not opening properly (aortic valve stenosis), a small needle is inserted into the aortic valve. Patients at intermediate or high risk of surgical aortic valve replacement may be suitable for TAVR. A TAVR may also be appropriate for some people who cannot have open-heart surgery. Treatment for aortic stenosis with TAVR is determined after consulting with a multidisciplinary team of medical and surgical heart specialists, who determine together the best treatment option for each patient.

Diagnostic Tests

ECG/EKG: Your heart’s electrical signals are recorded by an ECG, which is a quick and painless test. It can spot abnormal heart rhythms.

Echocardiogram: Sound waves are used to produce images of your heart’s structure during this non-invasive procedure. This stimulates the heart’s pumping action as well as how it beats.

Stress Test: Exercise or medication is used to raise your heart rate while your heart is being tested and scanned in order to see how your heart responds.

CT Scan: CT scans of the heart are performed on tables inside doughnut-shaped machines. X-ray images are collected of your heart and chest using a rotating X-ray tube.

MRI: To create detailed images of your heart, an MRI uses a magnetic field and radio waves generated by a computer.

To determine the cause of your symptoms, your cardiologist may use one or more tests.
