With more than 3500 operations each year, this is one
of the busiest cardiac surgical programmes in this part
of the world. EHIRC has the unique distinction of being
the only centre where apart from conventional adult
and Pediatric surgery, advanced and innovative techniques
are performed regularly keeping pace with the latest
developments and providing leadership in many areas.
Some of the newer techniques available
here are:
- Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery
This technique involves operating
upon the coronary artery through
a small 3-4 inch incision on the
side of the chest. It encourages
rapid recovery and leaves behind
a very small scar.
Valve surgery is also performed
through this technique.
- Port Access Surgery Commonly referred
to as the "Key Hole Surgery",
it is used for Valve replacement,
CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Graft)
and some congenital heart defects.
This institute has lead the way
in this technique in India by performing
the first successful port access
surgery in 1997.
- Total Arterial Revascularization
in CABG to provide long-term patency
of graft.
- Surgery on the Beating Heart
without the use of heart-lung machine.
- Transmyocardial Laser Revascularization(TMLR)
Other pioneering techniques being
performed at EHIRC are Maze operations
(for surgical treatment of cardiac
arrhythmia), Reduction Ventriculoplasty
(Heart shrink surgery), Cardiomyoplasty
to name a few.
The hospital is now moving into the
field of Videoscopic and Robotic heart
surgery. There are six state-of-the-art
operation theatres managed by a team
of highly trained surgeons and anesthesiologists.
To support the operation theatres
are six intensive care units providing
critical care and constant monitoring
for the post-operative patients. The
hospital follows a well-laid out "Progressive
Patient Care System",
wherein the patient moves from one
level of critical care to another
depending upon the level of care required.
