Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) & Redo Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Indians are genetically three times more susceptible than Europeans to have an attack on the heart. In India, usually the breadwinner of the family is the victim of attack. At Narayana Hrudayalaya 60% of the surgeries carried out are, coronary artery bypass grafting and redo coronary artery by pass grafting.

Having carried out over 13,000 coronary bypass grafting and redo coronary artery bypass grafting operations, the team of experts at Narayana Hrudyalaya are one of the most experienced in the world when it comes down to performing CABG, redo CABG's and mainly coronary artery bypass grafting without heart lung machine. The team of our cardiac surgeons also have a special interest in complete arterial graft using internal mammary artery and radial arteries.

DOR's Procedure (Left Ventricular Volume Reduction Operation) and Carotid Enderactectomies :

The team of cardiac surgeons at Narayana Hrudayalaya strongly believe that terminal heart failure, mainly due to ischaemic cardiomyopathy, can be corrected by our favourite technic called DOR's Procedure with coronary artery bypass grafting operation. With over 200 Dor's procedures to the team's credit, our team is one of the most experienced in the world in this rare procedure. We also conduct a large series of carotid enderactectomies to improve the blood supply to the brain with bypass grafting operation.

Blue Babies :
India produces the largest number of children in the world. So, going by the incidence of congenital heart disease we produce the largest number of children with heart diseases in the world (approximately 3 lakh children every year). Our team of paediatric cardiac surgeons is one of the most experienced in the world in terms of specializing in operating on children, especially children suffering from this complex heart problem.

Transposition of Great arteries
Heart Surgeries on New Born Babies: Narayana Hrudayalaya gets referrals from 21 countries for surgeries in complex heart diseases especially in newborn babies who are barely few hours old. Our team of neonatal cardiac surgeons are perhaps few in the world who routinely performs switches and double switches for complex heart problem called Transposition of Great Arteries in newborn babies.

The Ross Procedure
The Ross Procedure, also known as Pulmonary valve translocation, was developed by Donald Ross in 1967.This operation uses the patients own pulmonary valve and part of the main pulmonary artery as a unit to replace the aortic valve and ascending aorta. A homograft valve is harvested from a cadaver, is then placed in the pulmonary position. The pulmonary valve is identical in shape, size, and in fact stronger than the aortic valve and is therefore an ideal replacement for the diseased aortic valve. Narayana Hrudayalaya has a full fledge functioning homograft heart valve bank for the benefit of the needy patients. The surgeons of the Narayana Hrudayalaya have a large experience in successful valve replacements using homografts and Ross operations. These operations are being done only in very few centers in our country. Surgeons at Narayana Hrudayalaya have performed about 100 of this procedures with excellent results. They are perhaps one of the most experienced surgeons in the World in performing operations like Bental Procedure for Aortic Aneurysm and Aortic Arch replacement surgery for dissecting Aneurysm of Aorta.
