Minimally Invasive Heart Bypass surgery
Minimially invasive heart bypass surgery or the MIDCAB is a minimally invasive approach to conventional Bypass Surgery, used for the correction of coronary heart disease. It is also referred to as "keyhole" heart surgery.
Valve Replacement
Heart valve replacement is a procedure by which surgeons remove a damaged heart valve and substitute it with grafts or parts from body tissues or with synthetic heart valves.
Off Pump Coronary Artery Bypass
A cardiac procedure, this allows a surgeon to re-route the flow of blood around a blocked coronary artery, without stopping the heart.
Atrial Septal Defect
Atrial Septal Defect or the 'Hole in the Heart' is a congenital heart disease. The surgery is done by sewing the hole closed, or by sewing a patch of dacron material, or a piece of the sac that surrounds the heart (the pericardium), over the opening.
Pacemaker Implantation
A cardiac pacemaker is a small device that helps the heart beat more evenly.
Angioplasty
It is a non-surgical procedure used to open blocked heart arteries in which a balloon is used to open blood vessels that have been narrowed or blocked due to deposition of plaque.
Valvuloplasty
Balloon valvuloplasty, is oftern termed as percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty. The procedure is used to open a narrowed heart valve or stenosis and improves the valve function and blood flow through the heart.
Cardiac Ablation / Electro Physiological studies (EPS)
Electrophysiology (EP) studies are performed to diagnose abnormal heart rates, by locating small areas of abnormal heart tissue that interrupt the heart's normal electrical system. |
