Peripheral Angiography

Peripheral angiography is a technique used to capture images of peripheral arteries. These arteries do not normally show up on normal X-rays, which is why a contrast dye is used while performing the X-ray. The contrast dye is injected into the blood stream via a catheter. Angiograms are taken after the contrast dye is released. Peripheral angiography indications include…more

Pacemaker Surgery

Pacemaker surgery is a surgery done to implant a pacemaker under the skin of the chest to regulate heart-beat. The device makes use of electrical pulses to prompt heart to beat normally. There are 3 main types of pacemakers that are implanted under a pacemaker surgery procedure depending on the number of electrodes being used- single chamber, dual chamber and…more

Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator

An implantable cardioverter defibrillator is a battery powered device that keeps a track of a patient’s heart rate. The device is planted near collar bone and sends out electric shocks to stabilize erratic heartbeat. ICDs are life savers for patients with sustained ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation. Two tests- EKG and Echocardiography are done before the surgery. Since it is…more

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Also known as transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), transcatheter aortic valve replacement is a minimally invasive procedure to replace aortic valve of people suffering from aortic valve stenosis. It is an ideal choice for patients who are at a high risk of complication from valve replacement and those who cannot undergo open heart surgery. The procedure can be performed in three…more

Coronary Angioplasty

Also known as percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary angioplasty is a procedure used to open clogged heart arteries. This is done by widening the artery by inserting a tiny balloon at the site and inflating it thereafter. Most of the times, coronary angioplasty is supported with a stent placement to help keep the artery open and reduce the…more

Aortic Aneurysm Repair

Aortic aneurysm repair is a surgery performed to treat aortic aneurysm. The main causes of aortic aneurysm are widening of the aorta or weakness in the artery walls. The procedure can be performed in two ways- open surgery and endovascular graft stenting. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and becomes necessary if aneurysm is large in size, growing rapidly or…more

Atrial Septal Defect Surgery

A perforation in the atrial septum is known as atrial septal defect and the surgery conducted to correct this defect is referred as atrial septal defect surgery (ASD). Although an ASD closes on its own with time, fatal complications may result in case it doesn’t, necessitating the need for a surgery. It can be performed by trans catheter procedure or open…more

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a surgery performed on patients with severe coronary heart disease. It is characterized by gradual build-up of plaque within arteries responsible for supplying blood to the heart. As a result, the amount of blood flow to the heart is reduced leading to chest pain. A heart attack might also result when…more

Mitral Valve Surgery

Also known as Mitral Valvuloplasty, it is the surgery performed to repair or replace a mitral valve. Mitral valve is the valve located between left atrium and left ventricle and is responsible to ensure smooth blood flow through the heart. The surgery can be either minimally invasive or open depending upon the patient’s condition. The patient might…more

Aortic Valve Surgery

Aortic valve surgery is a surgery performed to treat aortic valve stenosis, aortic valve regurgitation, commonly bicuspid valves and other congenital aortic valve diseases. In other words, it is a surgery done to repair or replace the aortic valve. Also known as Aortic Valvuloplasty, it can be performed in two ways- minimally invasive or open. The recovery…more

Heart Valve Replacement

Heart valve replacement is a surgical procedure carried out to replace damaged heart valves with artificial valves. Although there are 4 valves in the heart, it is the aortic valve that’s mostly replaced since it can’t be repaired. The treatment usually depends on the severity of your condition including factors such as health, age and…more

Ventricular Assist Device

A ventricular assist device, also known as VAD, is a circulatory support device in the form of an implantable mechanical pump used to pump blood from the ventricles to the rest of the body. The device is recommended for patients with weakened hearts or heart failure. There are three main types of VAD- 1) Left ventricular…more
