Types of Cardiac Surgeries

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery – MICS
Opt for MICS at Apollo Hospitals Ahmedabad

 

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery is the latest technique to do heart surgeries. It is minimally invasive – meaning just a couple of specialized instruments and a camera are inserted in the chest through small incisions the size of keyholes. MICS is very useful for a variety of heart problems. And for many heart problems, MICS gives more convenience and effectiveness to the patients as well as surgeons.

MICS requires a team of expert surgeons and infrastructure. And in both aspects – Apollo Hospitals is the best heart hospital in Ahmedabad, offering the best Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery in Ahmedabad. We offer both complex and multivessel MICS to our patients. Undoubtedly, Apollo Hospitals has the best cardiac surgeon & cardiologist in Ahmedabad, and the best cardiac surgeon in Gujarat.

Invasive Cardiology offers treatment for Coronary Artery Disorders, using Angioplasty, Stents, Laser, Ultrasound techniques etc.

Our sophisticated Cath Lab and advanced technology offers unmatched outcomes in various cardiac ailments. Team of dedicated and highly skilled interventional cardiologists perform coronary and peripheral angiographies, balloon angioplasties, stenting, EP studies and ablation, pulmonary and mitral valvuloplasty and other interventions.

Each year, our skilled surgeons care for hundreds of patients, young and old, who require virtually every type of heart surgery.

Angiography Best centre of angiography and angioplasty

Angiography is a diagnostic procedure to determine the location and extent of the problem in the blood vessels by using X-ray pictures. In
conditions like chest pain, heart attack, stroke and other blood vessels related problems, angiography is performed in the cath lab to detect any problems.

The procedure itself will take approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour. Mild sedation may be given. During angiography, a long slender tube called a catheter is inserted into the artery (generally, in the groin area). The catheter is slowly maneuvered through the artery until its tip reaches the segment of vessel to be examined by angiography. A small amount of contrast material is injected into the blood vessel segment through the catheter, and X-rays are taken. The contrast agent enables the blood vessels to appear on the X-ray pictures. A physician specially trained in angiography studies the X-ray pictures to determine the source of the problem and the extent of damage to the blood vessel segments that are examined. Apollo Hospital, Ahmedabad is the best centre for angiography with highly trained cardiac experts providing the safest and advanced treatment.

Angioplasty And Stenting

This is a procedure used to restore the blood flow through a blocked artery. Dilating the blockage with a balloon is called Balloon Angioplasty and deploying a stent is called Stenting. The technical name for balloon angioplasty is percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

A tiny plastic tube (guiding catheter) is passed through the groin or hand till the origin of coronary arteries, and then a thin soft wire (guide wire) is passed through this tube and is negotiated across the block. Then another tube having a balloon at one end is passed over this wire up to the site of blockage. At this point the balloon is inflated to widen the artery by pushing the plague against the wall of the artery thereby restoring the blood flow. Now-a-days after dilating with the balloon, a stent is deployed to keep the artery open.

The stent remains in the body throughout life. The only problem is development of reblockage at the same place where the stent is deployed and this can be minimized by the use of drug-eluting stents. Stents cannot be removed after deployment. After 1 to 3 months the endothelial layer forms over the stent and then they become a part of our body. Angioplasty at Apollo Hospitals Ahmedabad is performed by highly skilled cardiologists with the safest and most advanced technology, making it the best centre for Angioplasty.

Bypass Surgery – CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Graft)

CABG is the shortened, more popular name for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting. Coronary artery bypass grafting is the surgical procedure in which the grafts are connected up to the blocked arteries. This surgery aims to supply the starved heart muscle with more blood by passing the blockages.
The surgeon studies the coronary arteries and tailors his plan of revascularization to suit the needs of the individual patient. Once the surgeon joins up the grafts, blood flows through them into the blocked arteries beyond the blocks thus bypassing them. The blocks are not removed but are bypassed, hence the name bypass surgery!

Heart Valve Surgery

Specialized surgery which is performed for the treatment of abnormalities like Mitral Regurgitation (MR) (a valvular heart disease which results in the abnormal leaking of blood through the mitral valve, from the left ventricle into the left atrium of the heart), or Aortic Stenosis (a condition where the aortic valve becomes narrower than normal, impeding the flow of blood) are routinely performed.

Paediatric Cardiac Surgery

Paediatric Cardiac Surgery deals with heart conditions in babies (including unborn babies), children and adolescents. Structural, functional, and rhythm-related problems of the heart are dealt with a high degree of success.

Facilities for Cardiac Department

# of facilities with bullet points

Cardiothoracic CCU :

The Centres have dedicated Cardiothoracic CCUs with 1:1 nursing ratio, round the clock. They are well equipped with bedside color doppler, echocardiography system, continuous oxygen supply, infusion pumps, defibrillator, ventilators, invasive as well as non-invasive pressure monitoring systems, temporary pacemaker (transdermal as well as transvenous), intra aortic balloon pump, ABG (Blood Gas machine) and electrolytes analysis machines.

Electrophysiology :

Electrophysiological studies have been used for decades to evaluate cardiac arrhythmias and to get a basic understanding of their mechanisms. Ventricular tachyarrhythmias are the commonest cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD). The patients are investigated by an EP study and, if required, provided with implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) as a life saving device.

We have capabilities for multi-site pacing for patients of Heart Failure and Dilated cardiomyopathy. Recently a bilateral pacing was performed for intermittent Atrial Fibrillation.

Non-invasive cardiology :

The Non-invasive Cardiac Laboratory is run by senior cardiologists who are dedicated to the work in the field. The procedures done here include stress echoes, dobutamine stress echoes, vascular dopplers, trans-oesophageal echoes, intraoperative TEE and fetal echoes.
