Cardiac Sciences
At CARE Hospitals in Vizag, we provide a full suite of advanced cardiac treatments and procedures performed by skilled cardiologists and CT surgeons. In our state-of-the-art laboratories and operation theaters, we can accommodate a simple, separative procedure to a complex cardiothoracic surgical procedure. And our whole emphasis as an institution is delivering care, and care that is personalized for each individual by leveraging modern technology to realize improved outcomes.
- Ablation Therapy: This utilizes either radiofrequency or cold energy to destroy faulty electrical pathways in the heart in order to repair rhythm problems (arrhythmias).
- Angiography (Coronary Angiography): This is an imaging technique used in the inspection of blood flow in the arteries of the heart to identify any blockages.
- Angioplasty (or Coronary Angioplasty/PCI): This is a minimally invasive technique for widening narrowed or blocked coronary arteries using a balloon and stent.
- Aortic Valve Repair/Replacement: These are the surgical techniques used to repair or replace a damaged aortic valve.
- Aortic Aneurysm Repair: This surgery or endovascular technique is employed to repair an aortic aneurysm, a potentially dangerous bulge in the aorta.
- Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion (LAAO): This is an option to close off a small pouch in the heart to avoid the complications associated with the occlusion and clots.
- Balloon Aortic Valvulotomy (BAV): A procedure to open a narrowed aortic valve with a balloon catheter.
- Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty (BMV): A procedure to open a narrowed mitral valve with a balloon catheter.
- Cardiac Catheterization: A diagnostic procedure used to assess the heart's function and structure by inserting a thin & flexible tube into the blood vessels.
- Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR): An emergency procedure provided to save lives when breathing and heart function cease.
- Carotid Angioplasty & Stenting: A procedure used to open narrowed carotid arteries in the neck to prevent a stroke.
- Carotid Endarterectomy: Surgical removal of plaque from the carotid artery (in the neck) to prevent a stroke.
- Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG): An open-heart surgery that provides new channels for blood to flow to the heart muscle.
- Coronary Microvasculature Disease Treatment: Management and treatment of damage to the small blood vessels of the heart.
- Defibrillation: This procedure is accompanied by electrical shocks to restore a normal heart rhythm.
- Defibrillator Implantation (ICD): This is the procedure performed to implant a device into the patient's body so that it may sense and deliver a signal if a life-threatening rhythm is detected within the patient.
- Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP): This is a non-invasive therapy to promote and increase blood supply to the heart in patients suffering from chronic angina.
- Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT): This is the minimally invasive laser treatment for varicose veins.
- Electrophysiology Study (EPS): This is a diagnostic procedure done to map the impulses of the heart and determine the cause for arrhythmias.
- Endotracheal Intubation & Mechanical Ventilation: This is the life-supporting procedure indicated to assist in breathing for critically ill patients.
- Heart-Lung Transplantation: Surgical replacement of a dying set of heart-lungs with a healthy donor heart-lung set.
- Heart Valve Repair/Replacement: Surgical procedures to repair or replace a damaged or diseased heart valve.
- Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD): A mechanical pump implanted to permit blood flow in a weakened heart.
- Maze Procedure: A surgical procedure designed to treat atrial fibrillation by making incisions to disrupt bad electrical signals.
- Mitral Valve Repair/Replacement: Surgical procedure for the repair or replacement of a diseased mitral valve.
- Pacemaker Implantation: A surgical procedure to place a device that helps regulate a slow or irregular heartbeat.
- Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Interventions: Procedures to open narrowed arteries in the legs and feet.
- Percutaneous Closure of Patent Foramen Ovale: A minimally invasive procedure to close a small hole in the heart to help prevent a stroke.
- Radial Angiography: An angiogram performed by getting access from the radial artery in the wrist.
- Stent Implantation: A small mesh tube is placed into an artery to keep it open after an angioplasty.
- Thrombolysis: This involves the administration of medication to dissolve problematic blood clots.
- Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR): A minimally invasive procedure used to replace a narrowed aortic valve without open heart surgery.
- Transmyocardial Laser Revascularization (TMR): A surgical procedure that uses a laser to create small channels in the heart muscle, improving blood flow.
- Ventricular Assist Device (VAD): A mechanical pump that helps a weakened heart.
Our Expert CARE Cardiac Team is a combination of a multidisciplinary team of professionals, all trained to provide world-class heart care. Our team is comprised of a team of the top cardiologists in Vizag, from non-invasive diagnostics to complex invasive interventions, who work with cardiothoracic surgeons with experience in dealing with complex bypass and heart valve repairs to develop a comprehensive cardiac treatment plan that considers the needs of the patient collectively.
In addition to our physicians, we also have a team of cardiac specialists supporting us in our mission to provide the best possible care for our cardiac patients. The Cardiac ICU is accessible round the clock, seven days a week, and staffed with critical care personnel who monitor patients recovering from cardiac surgeries or provide urgent support for patients experiencing a cardiac emergency. Our cardiac experts work with other vascular specialists who focus on blood vessel problems, as well as cardiac anesthesiologists, nurses, and technicians, to give you integrated, compassionate treatment during your time with us.
