Specializing within the expansive domain of medical care, cardiac surgery is a precise discipline focused on treating heart-related conditions through intricate interventions. Fortis CTVS hospitals in India proudly house a distinguished Cardiothoracic Vascular Surgery Department (CTVS), celebrated for its proficiency in diagnosing and managing intricate cardiothoracic disorders in adult patients. Their skilled team demonstrates excellence across a spectrum of heart surgeries, including:

A spectrum of precise procedures characterizes cardiac surgery, each designed to address specific cardiac conditions with adept precision:

1. Aortic Surgery: This intervention targets the repair or replacement of aortic aneurysms and dissections, crucial for restoring normal blood flow and function to the aorta.
2. Aortic Valve Surgery: Focused on restoring optimal function to the aortic valve, this surgery encompasses a range of techniques, including endoscopic, non-sternotomy, and MAZE procedures tailored to address diverse patient needs, including atrial fibrillation management.
3. Arrhythmia Surgery: Aiming to correct irregular heart rhythms like atrial fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia, this surgical approach restores the heart’s rhythm, promoting efficient cardiac function.
4. Corrective Surgery for Genetic Defects: Specialized interventions target genetic heart defects or congenital heart issues, providing tailored solutions to restore normal cardiac function.
5. Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG): Widely recognized as Heart Bypass surgery, CABG creates alternate pathways for blood flow, circumventing narrowed or blocked arteries associated with coronary artery disease. This procedure alleviates symptoms and promotes optimal circulation, enhancing overall cardiac health.

Heart failure surgeries encompass a range of interventions tailored to address the complexities of cardiac dysfunction:

1. LVAD (Left Ventricular Assist Device): Vital for supporting circulation, LVADs assist in pumping blood, offering crucial support for individuals with compromised heart function.
2. Left Ventricular Remodeling/Surgical Ventricular Restoration: Post-myocardial infarction, this procedure reshapes the heart, optimizing its ability to pump blood efficiently and mitigating the effects of cardiac damage.
3. Heart Transplant: Reserved for end-stage heart failure, heart transplantation offers a life-saving option for individuals with irreversible cardiac dysfunction.
4. Awake Heart Surgeries: Conducted with or without cardiopulmonary bypass and under high thoracic epidural anesthesia, these procedures offer innovative options for cardiac surgery, minimizing the need for general anesthesia.

In the realm of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Procedures/Surgeries, Fortis delivers comprehensive care through advanced facilities and dedicated units:

• Bypass Surgery (Off-pump and Keyhole): Offering minimally invasive options for bypass procedures, Fortis ensures optimal outcomes with reduced recovery times.
• Major Aortic Cardiac Aneurysm Surgeries: Addressing critical aortic conditions, these surgeries require specialized expertise to ensure successful outcomes.
• Minimal Access Aortic Arch Replacement: Utilizing advanced techniques, this procedure offers a less invasive approach to aortic surgery, promoting faster recovery and reduced postoperative complications.
• Hybrid and Endovascular Aortic Surgery: Leveraging innovative approaches, Fortis combines surgical and endovascular techniques to provide tailored solutions for complex aortic conditions.

Fortis’s commitment to excellence is further exemplified by their dedicated Cardiothoracic ICUs for Adult CTVS in India. These ICUs operate round-the-clock, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities such as color Doppler and ECG systems, continuous oxygen supply, infusion pumps, defibrillators, ventilators, pressure monitoring systems, temporary pacemakers, intra-aortic balloon pumps, and ABG machines. With a 1:1 nursing ratio, personalized attention is ensured, underscoring Fortis’s dedication to superior patient care in adult cardiothoracic and vascular surgery.
