The Heart Center at the hospital has the latest advanced technologies and facilities. Vejthani has a team of experienced, dedicated, and certified cardiac specialists offering world-class standards of care. A Bentall procedure is suggested by cardiac surgeons in cases of aortic regurgitation, aortic aneurysm, and aortic dissection. Diagnostic tests available in the cardiac department at the hospital include an ECG, chest X-ray, blood tests, dopplers (which is an ultrasound of the blood vessels in your neck that supply the brain), Cardiac Computed Tomography, Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMR), etc.

Most heart valve repair procedures can be done through a median sternotomy. Minimally invasive methods are also available at Vejthani. During a Bentall procedure, surgeons remove the affected parts of the aorta and aortic valves. They temporarily remove the patient’s coronary arteries and insert an artificial aortic graft with a built-in valve. Two holes are made in the graft, and it is re-attached to the coronary arteries. The valve is removed and replaced with an artificial valve made of synthetic material or tissue from animals or human donors. Patients who have had a valve repaired or replaced need to take blood-thinning medicine for the appropriate period of time. Dr. Taweesak Chotivatanapong is a cardiothoracic surgeon at the hospital.
