Key Services Offered

The CTVS Department provides a comprehensive range of services focused on treating heart, lung, and vascular diseases with precision and care:

  • Consultations and Diagnostics: Thorough evaluation and diagnosis of all cardiothoracic and vascular conditions using advanced imaging and diagnostic tools.
  • Beating Heart Bypass Surgery (OPCAB): A highly specialized procedure where coronary bypass surgery is performed without stopping the heart, reducing complications and improving recovery time.
  • Valve Replacement Surgery: Comprehensive care for diseased or damaged heart valves, offering treatment options to restore heart function.
  • Aortic Surgery: Advanced treatment of aortic conditions, such as aneurysms and dissections, using the latest surgical techniques.
  • Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS): Advanced cardiac procedures performed through small incisions, reducing trauma, speeding up recovery, and minimizing postoperative pain.
  • Lung Surgery: Expert surgical management of lung diseases, including cancer, infections, and structural issues with a focus on preserving lung function.
  • Vascular Surgery: Treatment of various vascular disorders, including artery blockages, varicose veins, and aneurysms, through advanced surgical and endovascular interventions.
Procedures Offered

We specialize in a broad range of life-saving cardiothoracic and vascular procedures, such as:

  • Beating Heart Bypass Surgery (OPCAB): Restores blood flow to the heart while it continues beating, reducing risks associated with traditional bypass surgery by avoiding the use of a heart-lung machine.
  • Valve Replacement Surgery: Surgical replacement of damaged heart valves including mitral and aortic valves to improve blood flow and heart function.
  • Aortic Surgery: Procedures like aortic aneurysm repair and aortic dissection to treat life-threatening aortic conditions and restore vascular health.
  • Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery: Advanced cardiac procedures performed through small incisions for quicker recovery, less pain, and reduced scarring.
  • Lung Surgery: Procedures including lung resections and tumor removal, treating both benign and malignant lung conditions.
  • Vascular Surgery: Comprehensive surgical treatment for vascular diseases, including arterial bypass, varicose vein treatments, and aneurysm repairs, ensuring better blood circulation and heart health.
