Cardio Surgery Procedure

Electrophysiology (EP) Study

An Electrophysiologist is a trained cardiac specialist who would be performing an EP Study. This is a specialized procedure in which one or more thin, flexible wires, called catheters are inserted into a blood vessel (usually the groin) and guided into the heart.

CrossBoss Catheter

A decade ago, most of the patients with 100% blocked arteries were either managed medically or sent for surgery with long recovery times before they got back to their work.

Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold (BVS)

The new Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold (BVS), a non metallic mesh tube that is used to treat a narrowed artery, is similar to a stent, but slowly dissolves once the blocked artery can function naturally again and stays open on its own.

Bifurcation Stenting

Bifurcation lesion means there is a blockage in a site where the blood vessel divides into two and is more challenging to treat. Two branches of the blood vessel have narrowing. If a balloon angioplasty is performed in one, there are chances of the other branch closing.

ClearWay™ RX – Rapid Exchange Therapeutic Perfusion Catheter

The ClearWay™ RX – Rapid Exchange Therapeutic Perfusion Catheter helps save larger area of heart muscle in heart attacks.

Interventional Cardiology

The Interventional Cardiology Centres are manned by senior Cardiologists trained in India and abroad. Coronary stenting is routine and performed by most of the interventional cardiologists. Patients with high risk and multi vessel involvement are also treated.

Beating Heart Surgery

Coronary Bypass Surgeries are performed using contemporary techniques including the off-pump bypass. Over 98% of the surgeries are “off-pump” or “beating heart” surgeries. During off-pump or beating heart surgery, the heart-lung machine is not used.

OCT Technique – Optical Coherence Tomography

OCT – Optical Coherence Tomography is a light based catheter which acquires on an image (photo) inside the heart blood vessel. OCT is a recently-developed, catheter-based Intravascular Imaging Technology that provides micron-scale resolution.

Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR)

Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) is used to determine if a cardiac patient really needs a stent or bypass surgery or can be kept only on medicines avoiding any procedure.

Emergency Cardiac Surgery

Surgeries for treatment of complications caused by the dilatation of the aorta (aortic aneurysm), problems caused by irregular heart beat (arrhythmias – such as atrial fibrillation), heart failure, Marfan syndrome – a genetic disorder that causes cardiovascular abnormalities and other less common
