Cardiac Surgery

Minimal Access Surgery

Jehangir Hospital offers various modern surgical techniques and methods, with a special focus on the constantly evolving minimal access surgeries.

Procedures Include:
  • Mitral valve repair or replacement
  • Tricuspid valve repair or replacement
  • Aortic valve repair or replacement
  • Atrial septal defect repair
  • Atrioventricular septal defect correction
  • Coronary artery bypass surgery
  • MAZE procedure for atrial fibrillation
  • Placement of a ventricular assist device

Surgical Procedures Include: Cardiovascular Surgeries
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)

Commonly known as bypass surgery, this procedure restores blood flow in a narrow or blocked artery. It involves open-heart surgery, requiring a large incision to access the chest cavity. The surgeon removes a blood vessel from another part of the body to divert blood flow away from the blocked coronary artery, restoring normal blood flow. A blocked or narrowed artery increases the strain on the heart and can lead to heart failure if untreated.

Cardiac Device Implantation

Cardiac devices help control irregular heartbeats and protect against heart rhythm disorders. One of the most commonly used devices is a pacemaker, which produces electrical stimuli to help the heart maintain rhythm. An Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) assists the heart's ventricles in restoring their capacity after an irregularity. The implantation surgery for these devices is quick, and patients are often discharged soon after the procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cardiovascular_and_Thoracic Surgery_faq

Q.1 What is cardiology, and what conditions does it address?
Ans: Cardiology is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of heart and vascular (blood vessel) diseases. It deals with conditions like coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and valvular disorders.
Q.2 What is cardiovascular surgery?
Ans: Cardiovascular surgery involves surgical procedures on the heart, blood vessels, and thoracic (chest) organs. It includes coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), valve repair/replacement, and aortic aneurysm repair.
Q.3 What are some common symptoms of heart problems?
Ans: Common symptoms include chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, fatigue, palpitations, dizziness, and swelling in the legs or ankles. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek medical attention promptly.
Q.4 What is the role of a cardiologist?
Ans: Cardiologists specialise in diagnosing and managing heart conditions. They perform tests like ECGs, echocardiograms, and stress tests and can prescribe medications, lifestyle changes, or recommend procedures when necessary.
Q.5 What is a cardiac catheterisation, and why might I need one?
Ans: Cardiac catheterisation is a procedure used to diagnose and treat heart conditions. It involves threading a catheter through blood vessels to assess coronary artery blockages, perform angioplasty, or place stents.
Q.6 What is open-heart surgery, and how do I prepare for it?
Ans: Open-heart surgery is a procedure in which the chest is opened to access the heart. Preparing for it involves medical evaluation, discussions with your surgeon and anaesthetist, and following preoperative instructions carefully.
Q.7 How long is the recovery after heart surgery?
Ans: Recovery varies based on the type of surgery and individual health. Typically, patients stay in the hospital for several days to weeks and then require a period of rehabilitation and follow-up care.
Q.8 What lifestyle changes can help prevent heart disease?
Ans: Lifestyle changes include maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, quitting smoking, managing stress, and controlling conditions like diabetes and hypertension.
Q.9 What is a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), and when are they needed?
Ans: Pacemakers and ICDs are devices implanted under the skin to regulate heart rhythm. Pacemakers help control slow heartbeats, while ICDs monitor and treat life-threatening arrhythmias.

These FAQs provide a general overview of common questions about Cardiology and Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery. However, it's essential to consult your doctor to get personalized information and guidance tailored to your specific situation and goals.
