CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE

CARDIOLOGY

- Cardiology
Interventional Cardiology
Our interventional cardiologits strongly believe in primary interventions on an acute heart attack with medicated stent for all victims. They have vast experience in treating the victims of heart attack. We also conduct post-doctor courses in Cardiology, Interventional Cardiology & Paediatric Cardiology in association with National Board of Examinations, Delhi.

Electrophysiology
Our team is one of the most experienced in the field of electro physiology of the heart which treats rhythm disturbances of the heart commonly called as 'palpitation'. Their special interest is AICD implantation for serious rhythm disturbances of the heart and bi-ventricular pacing for terminal heart failure. We conducts training programs for young cardiologists in the field of electro physiology.

Endovascular Interventions
More and more aneurysms of the aorta are getting amendable from endovascular stent grafting rather than a major surgery. Our team is one of the most experienced in the field of treating complex aneurysm of the aorta with endovascular stent grafting. Narayana Hrudayalaya in association with various hospitals conducts joint discussions via telemedicine for individual patient management.

Pediatric Cardiology & Interventions
Narayana Hrudayalaya has a very well rounded, well trained and active Pediatric Cardiac team. Our Pediatric Cardiologists are adept at complex echocardiograms as well as non surgical interventions in the catherterization lab such as ASD, PDA and VSD closures. It is their good clinical acumen and outstanding echo and cath lab skills that have helped build us into a world class referral center for children with heart disease.

- Cardiac Surgery
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) & Redo Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Indians are genetically three times more susceptible than Europeans to have an attack on the heart. In India, usually the breadwinner of the family is the victim of attack. At Narayana Hrudayalaya 60% of the surgeries carried out are, coronary artery bypass grafting and redo coronary artery by pass grafting.

Having carried out over 13,000 coronary bypass grafting and redo coronary artery bypass grafting operations, the team of experts at Narayana Hrudyalaya are one of the most experienced in the world when it comes down to performing CABG, redo CABG's and mainly coronary artery bypass grafting without heart lung machine. The team of our cardiac surgeons also have a special interest in complete arterial graft using internal mammary artery and radial arteries.

DOR's Procedure (Left Ventricular Volume Reduction Operation) and Carotid Enderactectomies :

The team of cardiac surgeons at Narayana Hrudayalaya strongly believe that terminal heart failure, mainly due to ischaemic cardiomyopathy, can be corrected by our favourite technic called DOR's Procedure with coronary artery bypass grafting operation. With over 200 Dor's procedures to the team's credit, our team is one of the most experienced in the world in this rare procedure. We also conduct a large series of carotid enderactectomies to improve the blood supply to the brain with bypass grafting operation.

Blue Babies :
India produces the largest number of children in the world. So, going by the incidence of congenital heart disease we produce the largest number of children with heart diseases in the world (approximately 3 lakh children every year). Our team of paediatric cardiac surgeons is one of the most experienced in the world in terms of specializing in operating on children, especially children suffering from this complex heart problem.

Transposition of Great arteries
Heart Surgeries on New Born Babies: Narayana Hrudayalaya gets referrals from 21 countries for surgeries in complex heart diseases especially in newborn babies who are barely few hours old. Our team of neonatal cardiac surgeons are perhaps few in the world who routinely performs switches and double switches for complex heart problem called Transposition of Great Arteries in newborn babies.

The Ross Procedure
The Ross Procedure, also known as Pulmonary valve translocation, was developed by Donald Ross in 1967.This operation uses the patients own pulmonary valve and part of the main pulmonary artery as a unit to replace the aortic valve and ascending aorta. A homograft valve is harvested from a cadaver, is then placed in the pulmonary position. The pulmonary valve is identical in shape, size, and in fact stronger than the aortic valve and is therefore an ideal replacement for the diseased aortic valve. Narayana Hrudayalaya has a full fledge functioning homograft heart valve bank for the benefit of the needy patients. The surgeons of the Narayana Hrudayalaya have a large experience in successful valve replacements using homografts and Ross operations. These operations are being done only in very few centers in our country. Surgeons at Narayana Hrudayalaya have performed about 100 of this procedures with excellent results. They are perhaps one of the most experienced surgeons in the World in performing operations like Bental Procedure for Aortic Aneurysm and Aortic Arch replacement surgery for dissecting Aneurysm of Aorta.

- Paediatric Cardiology

- Critical Cardiac Surgeries
Narayana Hrudayalaya is located close to the Electronics City of Bangalore covering 26 acres of land with a building to accommodate 1000 beds, 26 operation theaters, infrastructures to perform 70 heart surgeries a day. Within the first 5 years of commissioning this institution, currently 25 heart surgeries are done on a daily basis, out of them about 30% are on children with heart problem. Rest of them is adult open-heart surgeries.

Institution is attracting patients from 22 countries primarily because of its expertise in the area of complex heart problems. To enumerate them;

Pulmonary Thrombo Endarterectomy for pulmonary Embolism
Pulmonary embolism is a dreadful conditions and its advanced stage only
Treatment for this is a lung transplant, which carries extremely high risk
And poor prognosis. Narayana Hrudayalaya is one of the very few centers in the World today performing Pulmonary thrombo endarcterectomy (PTE) for pulmonary embolism (PE).

Aneurysms of the Aorta
Surgery for Aneurysms of the Aorta including Aortic Arch Replacement and Replacement of Total Thoraco Abdominal Aorta with Re-implantation of Visceral
Arteries.
Aneurysms are fairly common problem, which are fatal if not treated.
Narayana Hrudayalaya does large number of aneurysm surgeries on a
regular basis.

Dor’s procedure
Remodeling Procedures (Dor’s procedure) for Left Ventricular Aneurysms:
Terminal Heart Failure is a common problem affecting most of the ischaemic
heart patients. Left ventricular remodeling procedure called Dor's procedure
has a really transformed the lives of these patients and over 200 of these
Procedures are done at Narayana Hrudayalaya.

Double Switches Corrected Transposition of Great Arteries
This is a rare heart problem, which can be corrected by performing complex
Procedure called Double Switch to re-route blood through the heart.

You can benefit from cardiac rehabilitation if:
• You have heart disease, such as angina or heart failure, or have had a
heart attack.
• You have a chronic heart problem.
• You had coronary artery bypass surgery or a valve replacement.
• You have an implanted defibrillator
• You have had a balloon catheter (angioplasty), a stent, or other cardiac
procedure

You can also benefit from cardiac rehabilitation if you are at risk of heart disease. Cardiac rehabilitation can make a difference. It is a safe and effective way to help you:
• Feel better faster, emotionally and physically.
