What is Cardiac Surgery
Cardiac Surgery is surgery on the heart, or large vessels conducted by cardiac surgeons. It is often used to treat symptoms of ischaemic heart disease (e.g. coronary artery bypass graft); to correct congenital heart disease; or to treat valve heart disease from a variety of causes, including endocarditis, rheumatic heart disease, and atherosclerosis. It also requires cardiac transplantation.
What are the surgeries performed in India?
Coronary artery bypass surgery: including off-pump surgery, complete arterial revascularization, mitral valve repair, post-myocardial infarction repair of ventricular septal rupture.
Valve surgery: including repair of the mitral valve, repair of the tricuspid valve, replacement of the mitral valve, replacement of the aortic valve, and replacement of the double valve.
Aneurysm Surgery: including Bentall operation, acute and chronic aortic dissection, arch replacement and elephant trunk procedure, thoracoabdominal aneurysm repair, aortic arch detachment, and stenting of the arch and thoracic aorta.
We also conduct minimally invasive surgery, endoscopic vein harvesting, minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass, thoracic and thoracic.

Why India for Cardiac Surgery?
India Cardiac Surgery Group is India’s largest network of renowned cardiac surgeons and leading cardiac hospitals. people with heart disease, aorta, blood vessels, lungs, and chest cavity, and are renowned for performing precision cardiothoracic surgery in India. It has the best cardiothoracic surgeons and cardiac surgeons in the world who perform thousands of cardiac and cardiovascular surgeries every year using state-of-the-art technology.
We have years of experience in conducting these surgeries effectively, and we ensure that every team member in the department is highly qualified in the field. Surgeons also have foreign experience with the treatments at the center. Because of the expertise, the success rate of coronary bypass surgery is 99 percent and that of cardiac and lung transplantation is also very high because of recent technological advances, which is why most patients who have undergone transplantation have survived over 10 years after surgery. Such excellent outcomes and high success rates have made us stand out and put our name on the list of the best heart surgery hospitals in India.

What are the risks and side effects of Cardiac Surgery?
- Severe anesthesia reactions used during surgery
- infection at the site of surgery
- Blood clots or brain bleeding
- Stroke, seizure, or brain injury (rare)

- swallowing
- Plaque to build up in the arteries
Top 10 common surgeries in India
Angioplasty – Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) helps restore regular blood flow to the heart by re-opening arteries that are blocked by fatty plaque.
Stent placement – A stent is a small metal coil or tube inserted in a narrowed artery to keep it open. To insert a stent, the healthcare provider first performs angioplasty or atherectomy to compress or remove plaque accumulation in the artery.
Ablation – Ablation is a treatment often used to treat irregular heart rates and rhythms (arrhythmias). It requires the ablation (destruction) of a tiny, targeted region of the heart muscle.
Pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) – Your doctor may prescribe a system implant to correct irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias) and help your heart pump more effectively. The most popular implants are pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs).
Open cardiac surgery – Commonly, open heart surgery treats blockages in the coronary arteries or corrects issues with the heart valves. Open heart operations can also repair heart defects and help to resolve heart rhythm issues.
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG, also referred to as “cabbage”) is one of the most frequently performed open-heart surgery. In this operation, a vein from your leg—or an artery from your chest wall or arm—is used to bypass a coronary artery that is narrowed or blocked by a fatty plaque build-up.
Repair or replacement of the heart valve. If your heart valves have been weakened or diseased, they may not be properly opened or closed. In this situation, your healthcare providers can prescribe open cardiac surgery to fix or replace your heart valve (s).
Ventricular assist systems. The ventricular help system is an implantable heart pump that is used to treat heart failure.
Heart transplant. A heart transplant replaces a seriously ill or malformed heart with a new heart from a human organ donor. We know this treatment for late-stage cardiac failure after other attempts have failed.
Carotid surgery. The term carotid endarterectomy is oral, but it is a relatively straightforward operation that removes plaque in one of your carotid arteries.
