Cardiac Surgery in Tathawade, PCMC — CABG, Valve & Minimally Invasive (MICS)

Our cardiothoracic team provides comprehensive surgical care for coronary artery disease, valve disorders, aortic disease, and selected congenital heart conditions. With 24×7 Emergency, ICU, and evidence-based pathways, we focus on safety, outcomes, and faster recovery.

Conditions We Treat

• Triple/single-vessel coronary artery disease with angina or prior heart attack
• Valve diseases: aortic stenosis/regurgitation, mitral stenosis/regurgitation
• Aortic aneurysm/dissection (thoracic/ascending) — case selection & referral pathway
• ASD/VSD and other selected congenital defects (adult) — case-based
• Endocarditis requiring surgical intervention

Procedures We Perform

• CABG (Bypass) — On-pump / Off-pump (Beating Heart): Multivessel revascularisation with arterial/venous grafts.
• Valve Repair/Replacement: Aortic/Mitral valve with tissue or mechanical prosthesis; repair where feasible.
• Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS): Small-incision approaches for selected CABG/valve cases.
• Redo/Revision Surgery: For failed grafts, prosthetic valve dysfunction, or progressive disease (case-based).
• Aortic Surgery: In indicated cases with appropriate imaging and perfusion support pathways.

Pre-operative Assessment

• Clinical evaluation, risk scores (STS/EuroSCORE), anaesthesia assessment.
• ECG, 2D Echo, coronary angiography/CT as indicated; routine labs and infection screening.
• Optimisation: diabetes control, pulmonary rehab, smoking cessation, medication planning (antiplatelets/anticoagulants).

What to Expect: Surgery & ICU Care

• Standard informed consent and pre-op briefing for patient and family.
• Operation under general anaesthesia with intra-op monitoring.
• Immediate post-op cardiac ICU care: ventilation weaning, pain control, early mobilisation.
• Typical stay: ICU 1–2 days, ward 3–5 days (varies by case & comorbidities).

Recovery & Follow-Up

• Incision care, breathing exercises, and progressive activity plan.
• Cardiac rehabilitation advice and graduated return to work.
• Medication titration (antiplatelets, anticoagulation where needed, beta-blockers, statins).
• Scheduled reviews at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, then as advised.

Benefits & Outcomes

• Improved blood flow and symptom relief after CABG; reduced angina and better effort tolerance.
• Valve repair/replacement restores forward flow, reduces heart failure risk, and improves quality of life.
• MICS options may offer smaller scars, reduced pain, and faster recovery in selected patients.

Risks & Safety

• Bleeding, infection, arrhythmias, stroke, graft occlusion/valve complications (risk reduced with protocols).
• We follow strict VTE prophylaxis, glycaemic control, and antibiotic stewardship.
• Clear escalation pathways and rapid response teams in ICU.

Why Choose Pulse Hospital

• Experienced cardiac surgery team with anaesthesia, perfusion, and ICU support.
• Evidence-based care bundles and ERAS-style recovery pathways.
• Integrated cardiology–surgery decision-making and pre/ post-op rehabilitation.
• Insurance/TPA guidance and transparent counselling for procedure selection.

When to Seek Emergency Care

• Crushing chest pain, pain radiating to arm/jaw/back, or associated breathlessness/sweating.
• New onset severe breathlessness, syncope, or fast/irregular heartbeat.
• Post-op red flags: fever, wound discharge, sudden swelling, severe leg pain, or chest pain.
