Home/Key Procedures/Cardiothoracic Surgery Procedure
1. Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Repair (Including Endographs): It is an open-chest surgery to repair the thoracic aortic aneurysm by removing the damaged section of the aorta and replacing it with graft which is sewn into place.
2. Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG):
CABG surgeries are open heart surgeries which are most commonly performed surgical procedure to improve the blood flow to the heart. This surgery is usually recommended to patients with blockages of heart arteries. In this surgical procedure, a healthy artery or vein from the body is grafted to the blocked coronary artery which bypasses the blocked portion of the coronary artery to create a new path for blood oxygen-rich blood to flow to the heart muscle. Usually, the bypass graft for CABG can be a vein from the leg or an inner chest wall artery.
Other treatment options for coronary disease is Percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI), also known as Coronary angioplasty.
Coronary angioplasty is a non-surgical procedure in which a balloon is used to widen blocked or narrowed artery. At Sakra, we have a team of dedicated and highly-experienced Cardiac surgeons in Bangalore.
3. Valve Repair and Replacement: It is the procedure to treat the diseases and conditions affecting the aortic valve.
4. Ross Procedure: It is an effective procedure to treat damaged aortic valves and help restore normal blood flow and ensure a prolonged life.
5. Arrhythmia Surgery: It is a surgical procedure to treat atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat that can lead to a blood clot, heart failure, and stroke).
6. Ventricular Assist Device (VAD) is an electromechanical device which helps for cardiac circulation (support heart function and blood flow in an individual with a weak heart.
7. Transmyocardial Revascularization (TMR) is a highly-advanced procedure to treat severe coronary artery disease and angina.
8. Least Invasive Cardiac Surgery (LICS) is a minimally invasive procedure performed through small incisions on the right side of your chest.
9. OZAKI Procedure:
OZAKI is a minimally invasive technique which is a tailored replacement of each individual valvular leaflet with treated autologous pericardial patches which looks similar to the normal aortic valve.
The function of the aortic valve is to regulate the flow of blood from the heart to the rest of the body. When the aortic valve is not functioning properly due to various conditions like aortic stenosis, aortic valve regurgitation, congenital heart defect, then surgery is usually required to replace it and restore normal function of the aortic valve.
