Our Cardiothoracic Surgery department delivers outstanding level of surgical care to patients suffering from heart diseases. The department is a leader in performing complicated heart surgeries, such as the Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG, or “Heart Bypass Surgery”), Valvuloplasty and other complex procedures. It has an exceptional record of high safety and success rate for complex heart surgeries. It is led by renowned surgeons and highly skilled staff, and supported by a state-of-the-art facility with ultra modern equipment. The department provides around the clock services to patients requiring surgical care.
KRISHNA ’s Cardiothoracic Department is one of the few centers around the world to offer “Beating Heart Bypass Surgery”, and is recognized as a center of excellence in this area. The “beating heart” surgery reduces recovery time and improves results for cardiac patients undergoing surgical care. About 60% of all heart surgeries at KRISHNA are conduced using the “beating heart” procedure.
(We are also one of the pioneers in innovative minimally invasive cardiology procedures, such as Angioplasty and Drug Eluting Stents. Please see "Interventional Cardiology" for more information on our minimally invasive cardiac procedures.)
