CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Graft)

A form of heart surgery that redirects blood around clogged arteries to increase blood flow and oxygen to the heart. The cardiac surgeons at Apollo Hospitals, India have great expertise and experience with CABG surgeries. We are versatile and handle critically ill patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction or diffusely diseased vessels. As we avoid the heart – lung machine, we can take on patients for CABG even when there are associated morbidities such as renal disease, compromised lung function or other coexisting diseases. We do total arterial revascularization of the heart off-pump with varying configurations of arterial conduits such as left/right internal mammary arteries, radial arteries, and gastro-epiploic arteries individualized to patient’s requirements… Read More

Beating Heart Surgery

Coronary Bypass Surgeries are performed using contemporary techniques including the off-pump bypass. Over 99.6% of the surgeries are “off-pump” or “beating heart” surgeries… Read More

Minimally Invasive Coronary Artery Surgery

Conventional CABG or coronary Bypass surgery is performed by splitting or cutting through the breastbone or sternum. MICAS or MICS CABG is a safe and complete operation that has revolutionised the way coronary surgery is performed. MICS CABG or MICAS stands for Minimally Invasive Coronary Artery Surgery. It is a relatively new and advanced technique of performing coronary bypass for coronary artery disease. In this technique the heart is approached through the side of the left chest via a small 4cm incision.

Keyhole Angioplasty

The Keyhole Angioplasty, is considered an alternative to the conventional bypass surgery, as it is less time consuming, takes less than an hour. The major advantage of the procedure is that it is non-surgical in nature, which means lesser hospital stay and quicker recovery. This procedure is supported by the use of advanced techniques, new generation drug eluting stents and adjunctive Imaging Technology of IVUS (Intravascular Ultrasound), giving a virtual view of the inside of the arteries which makes this procedure simple… Read More

Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR)

Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) is used to determine if a cardiac patient really needs a stent or bypass surgery or can be kept only on medicines avoiding any procedure. This highly scientific and evidence based procedure is beneficial to the patient as FFR… Read More
