Cardiothoracic Vascular Surgery

Vascular Surgery Hospital in Baner, Pune


Some heart problems can be managed with lifestyle changes and medicines, whereas others such as heart blocks and defects in major blood vessels require surgery. This speciality of medicine is known as cardio-thoracic and vascular surgery (CTVS). CTVS is used to manage disorders associated with the heart, lungs, and chest. Cardiothoracic surgery majorly aids in the opening of the blocked coronary arteries, correcting heart rhythm problems, or repairing heart defects or weakened heart muscles. Vascular surgery, on the other hand, deals with blood vessel disorders, such as diseases of lymphatic vessels, veins, and arteries. It helps in repairing and managing a network of blood vessels. Vascular surgeries may also include rerouting of blood flow.

Treatment & Procedures

Bentall Procedure

Bentall procedure is a cardiac procedure that was introduced by H Bentall and A De Bono in 1968. It is performed to repair or replace an aortic root, aortic valve, or ascending aortic root lesion.

Heart Transplant/Left Ventricular…

A left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is an implantable mechanical circulatory pump that helps the left ventricle to pump blood to the aorta and throughout the body.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement…

TAVR is also called Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI). TAVR is a minimally invasive procedure that involves placing or inserting a new valve inside the diseased or a damaged heart valve.

Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

Coronary heart disease or coronary artery disease is characterized by the build-up of a waxy substance called plaque inside the coronary arteries blocking the blood flow. Coronary artery bypass graft surgery/bypass surgery/heart bypass surgery is recommended in emergencies such as heart attack, to ease symptoms of coronary artery disease, including…

Angioplasty & Stenting

Also known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), angioplasty, is a procedure used to open coronary arteries (blood vessels supplying the heart) that are narrowed, clogged, or blocked due to atherosclerosis (fatty plaque formation). Angioplasty is performed to reduce chest pain caused by restricted blood flow and reduce damage to the heart from…

Heart Valve Repair & Replacement

The human heart has 4 valves that are responsible for controlling blood flow through the heart. Valves can be damaged or affected by disease, in which case they will need to be repaired or replaced. Damaged valves can be repaired by the placement of a special ring, while artificial valves are used to replace valves that are damaged beyond repair. While…

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery…

Minimally invasive cardiac surgeries can be done in both children and adults. There is no additional risk associated with minimally invasive cardiac surgeries. Just like open-heart surgeries, risks involve bleeding, stroke, infection, arrhythmia, and death.

The main areas of CTVS are:

  • CTVS Adult Surgery

  • CTVS Pediatric surgery

Some common conditions that can be managed with CTVS are:

  • Coronary artery disease

  • Valves diseases of the aortic, mitral, tricuspid, and the pulmonic valve

  • Infective endocarditis

  • Rheumatic heart disease

CTVS Adult Surgery

Some common surgeries include:

Open Heart Surgeries

  • Coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG): It is one of the most common operations performed by this department. It is an open-heart surgery where an artery from your arm or chest wall or a vein from your leg is used to bypass a heart artery, which is blocked or narrowed by a fatty plaque.

  • Robotic CABG: It is a relatively new and less invasive procedure and used as an alternative to conventional CABG surgery. Here, the surgeon uses a robotic machine with a camera attached to its arm. The doctor can precisely control the arms of the machine using a computer console.

  • Minimally Invasive Direct Coronary Artery Bypass (MIDCAB): It further limits the invasiveness by using a smaller incision and operating on a beating heart. It is a challenging procedure, and Manipal surgeons are among a very few surgeons performing this procedure.

During this procedure, the operating team uses advanced equipment to re-establish blood flow to coronary arteries. It is done by bypassing the blocked blood vessel and stabilizing heart portions in an extremely organized environment.  

Heart Valve Surgeries

Diseased or damaged heart valves cannot function normally. This, in turn, puts excess stress on the heart muscles. Here replacing and repairing the valves aids in regaining their normal functions.

  • Mitral Valve Replacement (MVR)

  • Double Valve Replacement (DVR)

  • Tricuspid valve repair/ Replacement

  • Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI)/ Transcatheter aortic valve repair (TAVR)

    • Due to calcification, the heart's aortic valve narrows and fails to open fully, interrupting oxygen-rich blood flow to the rest of the body. TAVR is a minimally invasive procedure just like angioplasty, which involves replacing a diseased valve with a mechanical one with the help of a catheter placed inside the aorta

  • Heart post-Aortic Valve Replacement (AVR) + Mitral Valve Replacement (MVR) + Mitral valve repair

Stent Placement

In this surgery, a small metal tube or stent is placed in the narrow artery to open it. Before this procedure, the doctor will perform angioplasty to remove the plaque build-up.

  • Aortic Stenting

Others

  • Right atrial/left atrial Myxomas

  • Aortic Aneurysm Repair

  • Bentall Procedure

  • Re-do Surgery

  • Frozen Elephant Trunk and Aortic Arch replacement 

  • Ascending aortic aneurysm repair with island graft + intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP)+ Echo

CTVS Pediatric surgery

Kids require more compassionate care as compared to adults. Our team of interventional cardiac surgeons and pediatric cardiologists are supported by other healthcare professionals. 

This multidisciplinary team provides your kids with the highest quality and most effective care in cardiovascular disorders. Whenever possible, the team will select a clinically advanced and most invasive approach to prevent infection and lower the risk of complications.

Some of the common surgeries performed at our CTVS pediatric unit are:

  • Atrial septal defects 

  • Fontan procedure

  • Senning procedure

Surgical Treatment of Heart Failure: Heart failure can be treated by - 

  • Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG): 

    • Coronary arteries narrow with the build-up of plaque and eventually block the oxygen-rich blood flow. 

    • Healthy blood vessels or grafts from the chest, wrist, or arm are used to bypass the blocked arteries and restore normal blood flow

  • Valve Surgery: 

    • In the advanced stages of heart failure, papillary muscles weaken and stretch out of shape leading to the leaky mitral valve. 
    • Valve surgery is performed to either replace the weakened value or repair the value by supporting it with a ring. 

  • Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD): 

    • Also known as a ventricular assist system (VAS), LVAD is a battery-operated mechanical pump that is surgically implanted in patients with last-stage heart failure.
    • For patients awaiting a heart transplant, or those who are unable to undergo a heart transplant, this is a life-saving option.
  • Percutaneous Mitral Valve Repair (PMVR): 

    • The abnormal reverse flow of blood from the left ventricle to the left atrium is called mitral valve regurgitation.  

    • PMVR, also known as mitral clip procedure, is a minimally invasive procedure in which a mitral clip is implanted in the damaged value to prevent the reverse flow of blood. 

Heart Transplant:  

  • A heart transplant is an open-heart surgery, in which a diseased heart is replaced with a healthy heart. 
  • Once the blood flow is restored, the replaced heart starts to function. 

  • A patient with a heart transplant has a good chance of survival if appropriate follow-up care is practiced.
