•Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Repair (Including Endographs):This open-chest surgery treats thoracic aortic aneurysms by removing the damaged section of the aorta and replacing it with a graft that is securely sewn into place.
• Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG):A widely performed open-heart surgery, CABG enhances blood flow to the heart, particularly for patients with blockages in their coronary arteries. The procedure involves grafting a healthy artery or vein from the body to bypass the blocked coronary artery, facilitating the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. Common graft sources include veins from the leg or arteries from the inner chest wall. An alternative treatment for coronary disease is Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), also known as coronary angioplasty, a non-surgical method that uses a balloon to widen narrowed or blocked arteries. At Sakra, our experienced cardiac surgeons in Bangalore are dedicated to these procedures.
• Valve Repair and Replacement:This procedure addresses various diseases and conditions affecting the aortic valve.
• Ross Procedure:An effective method for repairing damaged aortic valves, the Ross procedure restores normal blood flow and contributes to a longer lifespan.
• Arrhythmia Surgery:This intervention specifically targets atrial fibrillation, which can lead to serious complications like blood clots, heart failure, and stroke.
• OZAKI Procedure: A minimally invasive technique that customizes the replacement of each valvular leaflet with treated autologous pericardial patches, resembling the normal aortic valve structure. This procedure is crucial for patients with aortic valve dysfunction due to conditions like aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation, or congenital heart defects, effectively restoring normal valve function.
