What is CTVS?

CTVS stands for Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery.
This branch of medicine deals with surgical treatment of diseases affecting:

  • The heart
  • Heart valves
  • Coronary arteries
  • Major blood vessels
  • Lungs and chest cavity

In simple words, if a heart problem cannot be treated with medicines alone and requires an operation, a CTVS surgeon is the specialist who performs that surgery.

Conditions We Treat

Coronary Artery Disease (Heart Blockages)

Coronary arteries supply blood to the heart muscle. When these arteries become blocked due to cholesterol deposits, blood flow to the heart decreases.

Common Symptoms

  • Chest pain or heaviness
  • Shortness of breath
  • Tiredness during physical activity
  • Heart attack

Treatment Options

Depending on the severity of blockage, treatment may include:

  • Lifestyle changes
  • Medicines
  • Angioplasty and stenting
  • Bypass surgery (CABG)

Heart Valve Disease

The heart has four valves that control blood flow. When these valves become damaged or narrowed, the heart has to work harder.

Symptoms

  • Breathlessness
  • Fatigue
  • Swelling in the legs
  • Dizziness
  • Irregular heartbeat

Available Treatments

  • Valve repair surgery
  • Valve replacement surgery
  • Double valve replacement for complex cases

Heart Failure

Heart failure does not mean the heart has stopped working. It means the heart is unable to pump blood efficiently.

Symptoms

  • Severe breathlessness
  • Swelling in feet and legs
  • Extreme fatigue
  • Difficulty performing daily activities

Our team provides advanced evaluation and treatment for patients suffering from heart failure.

Aortic Diseases

The aorta is the main artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
Problems affecting the aorta include:

  • Aortic aneurysm
  • Aortic enlargement
  • Aortic dissection

These conditions can be serious and often require timely surgical treatment.

Bypass Surgery (CABG)

What is Bypass Surgery?

Bypass surgery, also known as Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), is performed when one or more heart arteries become severely blocked.
During the procedure, a healthy blood vessel is used to create a new pathway for blood flow around the blockage.

Benefits of Bypass Surgery

  • Improved blood supply to the heart
  • Relief from chest pain
  • Better physical activity
  • Reduced risk of heart attack
  • Improved quality of life

Beating Heart Surgery (Off-Pump CABG)

In selected patients, bypass surgery can be performed while the heart is still beating.
This advanced technique is called Off-Pump CABG or Beating Heart Surgery.

Advantages

  • Reduced blood loss
  • Lower risk of complications
  • Faster recovery
  • Shorter hospital stay

Heart Valve Surgery

Heart valve problems can significantly affect the heart’s ability to pump blood.

Our department performs:

Aortic Valve Replacement (AVR)

Replacement of a damaged aortic valve.

Mitral Valve Replacement (MVR)

Replacement of a diseased mitral valve.

Valve Repair Surgery

Repair of the patient’s natural valve whenever possible.

Double Valve Replacement (DVR)

For patients with problems in more than one valve.

Advanced Diagnostic Services

Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward successful treatment.

We provide:

ECG (Electrocardiogram)

A simple test that records the heart’s electrical activity.

Echocardiography (2D Echo)

An ultrasound scan that shows the structure and function of the heart.

TMT (Stress Test)

Helps assess how the heart performs during exercise.

Holter Monitoring

Continuous monitoring of heart rhythm for 24–48 hours.

Coronary Angiography

A specialized test used to identify blockages in heart arteries.

Cardiac ICU & Post-Surgery Care

Successful heart surgery requires expert care even after the operation.
Our dedicated Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) provides:

  • 24×7 monitoring
  • Advanced life-support systems
  • Specialized cardiac nursing care
  • Infection prevention measures
  • Early recovery and rehabilitation support

This ensures that patients receive the best possible care during their recovery.
