Plain explanations of what each procedure involves, so you understand what is being recommended and why.
Bypass surgery
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)
When arteries become badly blocked and medicines alone stop working, CABG surgery — commonly known as bypass surgery — is usually recommended. Our cardiac surgeons take a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body, the leg, arm or chest, and use it to create a new path for blood to flow around the blockage. This relieves chest pain, reduces the risk of a heart attack, and helps patients get back to a normal, active life. We perform both traditional open-heart CABG and beating-heart (off-pump) surgery, where the heart keeps beating through the procedure, reducing certain risks tied to stopping it.
Valve repair & replacement
Heart valve surgery
Sometimes the problem isn't a blockage but a heart valve that is either too narrow or leaking, forcing the heart to work harder than it should. Patients looking for heart valve replacement in India can count on our team to carefully evaluate the valve and either repair it or replace it with a mechanical or tissue valve, based on age, health and lifestyle. We also offer minimally invasive valve procedures wherever possible, meaning less pain and a quicker return home, along with TAVI and MitraClip for patients not suited to open surgery.
Non-surgical
Angioplasty and stenting
For patients whose blockages don't need full surgery, angioplasty treatment is often the answer. It is a quick, minimally invasive procedure where a small balloon is guided to the blocked area of the artery and inflated to open it up, usually followed by placing a stent to keep the artery open. Our cath lab teams are available round the clock for emergencies, which matters most during a heart attack, when every minute counts.
Children — congenital defects
VSD, ASD and TOF repair
Some children are born with defects in the structure of their hearts, and these repairs need precision and experience specific to children's hearts. VSD (Ventricular Septal Defect) repair closes an abnormal hole between the heart's two lower chambers, which if left untreated can strain the heart and lungs as the child grows. ASD (Atrial Septal Defect) repair closes a hole between the two upper chambers, often first detected through a murmur or breathlessness at a routine check-up. TOF (Tetralogy of Fallot) repair corrects a combination of four related defects affecting how oxygen-rich blood flows through the body, usually needing surgery in infancy or early childhood for the best outcome. All are supported by a dedicated paediatric ICU and anaesthesia team built around the needs of young patients.
Children — ongoing care
Paediatric cardiac care
Caring for a child's heart isn't only about surgery. Families seeking paediatric cardiac care in India can rely on our team for early diagnosis, sometimes even before birth through foetal echocardiography, along with regular monitoring and follow-up as the child grows. Our paediatric cardiac units handle a large volume of complex cases, from newborn heart defects to more advanced congenital conditions, while keeping the process as calm and clear as possible for families.
