Advanced Cardiac Surgeries
At Yashoda Hospitals, we specialize in a comprehensive range of advanced cardiac surgeries designed to address various heart conditions with precision and care. Here’s an overview of the key procedures we offer:
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)
CABG is a surgical procedure used to treat severe coronary artery disease, which occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle narrow or become blocked. During the surgery, a healthy artery or vein from another part of the body is grafted to the blocked artery, bypassing the blockage and restoring normal blood flow. This procedure is especially beneficial for patients with multiple blockages or those who have not responded well to other treatments like angioplasty.
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)
TAVR is a minimally invasive procedure for replacing a narrowed aortic valve that does not open properly (aortic stenosis). Unlike traditional open-heart surgery, TAVR is performed through a small incision, typically in the groin or chest, using a catheter to deliver the replacement valve to the heart. This approach reduces recovery time and is often suitable for patients who are considered high-risk for conventional surgery due to age or other health conditions.
Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement (TMVR)
TMVR is a less invasive option for treating mitral valve disorders, such as mitral regurgitation, where the valve doesn’t close tightly, allowing blood to flow backward in the heart. TMVR uses a catheter to deliver a replacement valve to the site of the damaged mitral valve, allowing the valve to close more effectively, improving blood flow, and reducing symptoms such as shortness of breath and fatigue. This procedure is typically performed on patients who are not candidates for open-heart surgery.
Pacemaker Implantation
A pacemaker is a small electronic device implanted in the chest to help regulate abnormal heart rhythms, known as arrhythmias. It works by sending electrical impulses to the heart to maintain a normal heart rate and rhythm. Pacemaker implantation is a relatively straightforward procedure where the device is placed under the skin and wires (leads) are connected to the heart. It’s commonly used for conditions like bradycardia (slow heart rate) and can significantly improve the quality of life for patients.
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), also known as angioplasty, is a non-surgical procedure used to treat narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. A small balloon is inflated at the site of the blockage to open up the artery, and a stent (a small wire mesh tube) is often placed to keep the artery open. This procedure is minimally invasive, involving a catheter inserted through the wrist or groin, and typically requires only a short hospital stay.
Atrial Septal Defect/Ventricular Septal Defect (ASD/VSD) Repair
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) and Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) are congenital heart defects characterized by a hole in the wall (septum) that separates the heart’s chambers. ASD affects the upper chambers, while VSD affects the lower chambers. These defects can cause abnormal blood flow through the heart, leading to complications over time. Surgical repair involves closing the hole with a patch or sutures, and it can be performed through traditional open-heart surgery or minimally invasive techniques, depending on the defect’s size and location.

2. What types of cardiac treatments are available at Yashoda Hospitals?
Yashoda Hospitals offers a comprehensive range of cardiac services, including advanced diagnostic tests, minimally invasive procedures, and specialized treatments for complex heart conditions. We also provide follow-up care and preventive consultations.
4. What is the latest treatment for heart blockage?
The latest treatment for heart blockages is Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). This minimally invasive procedure uses balloon angioplasty and stenting to open blocked arteries, offering a quicker recovery and lower risk compared to traditional surgery.
5. Is open-heart surgery safe?
Open-heart surgery is generally safe and is often necessary for treating serious heart conditions. While there are risks, advancements in technology and surgical methods have made the procedure safer. Any concerns you may have should be discussed thoroughly with your doctor.
6. Can I live a normal life after open-heart surgery?
Yes, many patients return to their normal activities after a period of recovery. Following your doctor’s advice on lifestyle changes and rehabilitation can help ensure a healthy, active life post-surgery.
7. How do you treat a 90% blockage in the heart?
A significant blockage, like 90%, is often treated with procedures like Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) or Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) to restore proper blood flow to the heart.
8. What are the side effects of heart surgery?
Common side effects include pain, swelling, and fatigue. More serious complications, such as infections, bleeding, or irregular heartbeats, may occur but are less common. Your healthcare team will monitor you closely to manage any side effects.
9. Is TAVR better than traditional surgery for valve replacement?
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive option that is often recommended for patients who are at high risk for open-heart surgery. Your cardiologist can help determine the best option for you.
10. Is pacemaker surgery high risk?
Pacemaker implantation is generally a safe procedure with a low risk of complications. It involves placing a small device under the skin to regulate the heart’s rhythm.
11. What is the age limit for getting a pacemaker?
There is no strict age limit for pacemaker implantation. The decision depends on the patient’s overall health and specific heart condition.
12. How successful is CABG?
CABG is highly successful in relieving the symptoms of coronary artery disease and improving heart function. Success rates depend on factors like patient health and the severity of the condition.
13. What is heart failure and what causes it?
Heart failure is a condition that occurs when the heart fails to pump blood effectively. Causes include high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, and other chronic conditions.
14. Does an ECG show heart blockage?
An Electrocardiogram (ECG) can detect abnormalities in heart rhythm that may indicate blockages or other heart issues. However, to confirm the presence and extent of a blockage, additional tests such as a stress test, echocardiogram, or coronary angiography are typically required.
15. What are the common symptoms of heart disease?
Common symptoms of heart diseases include chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, and palpitations. If you experience these symptoms, consult a cardiologist promptly.
16. When should I see a cardiologist?
It’s advisable to see a cardiologist if you have risk factors for heart disease, such as a family history, high blood pressure, or if you experience symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath. Regular check-ups are also recommended for preventive care.
