Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)is generally performed on an individual with coronary artery disease involving blockage of one or more blocked vessels, which supply blood to the heart. Coronary artery patients see the cardiologist to get treatment of critical occlusions caused due to calcium or cholesterol deposits in the coronary arteries. It is called a lifestyle disease and carries several risk factors such as uncontrolled diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking and a family history of coronary artery disease, as well as lack of exercise.

CABG involves the use of a graft (which is a blood vessel extracted from another part of the body) to bypass the obstruction or a blockage in the artery. Surgeons would recommend a certain type of coronary artery bypass graft procedure depending on the severity of CAD, but for all kinds of CABG, the common steps include attaching a graft to the coronary artery in the blocked region of the artery to bypass the blockage. Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery (CABG) is the most common surgical treatment for the treatment of coronary artery disease. After this procedure is performed, most patients are found to be symptom-free for around 10 years.

Apollo Hospitals, Bannerghatta attracts hundreds of patients every year from across the world for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

A double valve replacement is the replacement of the mitral as well as the aortic valve. This type of procedure is not so common and is suggested for complicated cases of valvular diseases. Biologic and mechanical valves are used for replacing problematic valves. Mechanical valves are artificially made and have the same function as a natural valve. They are made from carbon and polyester materials and can last 10 to 20 years. However, a common risk associated with mechanical valves is blood clots. If an individual receives a mechanical heart valve, they will have to take blood thinners to reduce the risk of stroke. Heart valve replacement surgery is carried out under general anaesthesia using techniques, which are conventional or minimally invasive. The patient remains in hospital for 5-7 days. The patient is released earlier if the surgery is minimally invasive.

Apollo Hospitals, Bannerghatta offers high value services to individuals looking for affordable Double Valve Replacement (DVR) Surgery.

A pacemaker is a little battery-operated electronic device, which is placed in the heart. Its function is to make the heart beat regularly and properly at a normal rate. The pacemaker is placed just under the skin of your heart and helps in controlling the irregular heartbeat in conditions called arrhythmia. The pacemaker helps send electrical signals to the heart muscles to stimulate the lower heart chambers called ventricles and maintain the normal heart rate. During this procedure, the patients are awake and the area where the surgery is to be performed is anesthetized. It takes a few hours to do the pacemaker installation. The patient is administered some sedatives to make him/her relaxed and calm during the surgery.

One or more electrodes are placed under the collarbone and are taken to the patient’s heart using X-ray images. A small pulse generator is then placed near the collarbone. The patient stays in the hospital for one day. The pacemaker is mostly set according to the requirements of the patient before being discharged from the hospital. The doctor could suggest taking certain painkillers, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, to relieve pain in the surgical site.

Before DBS, detailed MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and CT (Computer Tomography) scans of the brain are performed. These scans will assist your doctor in determining the best location for the DBS wires.

DBS entails implanting electrodes within the brain that generate electrical impulses, thereby regulating abnormal impulses. These generated electrical impulses can affect specific cells and chemicals in the brain, assisting in medical conditions. Because of the multidisciplinary activities carried out at the Apollo Hospitals in Karnataka, Deep Brain Stimulation necessitates close collaboration between neurologists and neurosurgeons for effective results.
