Stent Or Bypass Surgery Which Is The Better Option The problem of arteries in the heart has plagued human beings for time immemorial. But thanks to modern-day advancements in medical science, Coronary Artery Diseases (CAD) are now manageable with medicines or sophisticated surgical procedures. Stents and Bypass surgery remain two of the most efficient and common treatments for this problem. Doctors choose between the two based on the probable outcome of the patient and the risks versus benefit evaluation. Dr. Ayush Srivastava is highly regarded as a well-known cardiac surgeon in Moradabad. You may want to read more of this article if you are planning to get any of the above procedures done. What happens? The greatest risk with CAD is that it may not cause any symptoms in its early stages and is sometimes found in routine evaluations. It may cause typical pain of the chest called angina. CAD may cause blood clots to develop, which in turn may travel either to the muscles of the heart an...

 What to know about heart pacemakers A pacemaker is a device that helps keep the heart beating regularly. It can represent a life-changing treatment for heart conditions such as arrhythmias, which involve the heart beating irregularly. Inserting a pacemaker into the chest requires minor surgery. The procedure is generally safe, but there are some risks, such as injury around the site of insertion. This article will discuss the purpose of a heart pacemaker, the insertion surgery, and the risks. Purpose A pacemaker is a small electronic device for treating heart conditions, such as arrhythmias. This refers to a group of conditions that disrupt the rhythm of the heart. The heart has two upper and two lower chambers. The upper chambers contract, pulling blood into the heart’s lower chambers. When the ventricles contract, they push this blood out of the heart so it can circulate throughout the body. This contraction is a heartbeat, and electrical signals are responsible for controlling ...

  How does minimally invasive cardiac surgery differ? The surgeon makes many small incisions between the ribs instead of one major incision and severing the breastbone in the least invasive method. The surgeon can perform the treatment with precision using a sophisticated surgical device with a camera and other surgical equipment. While minimally invasive cardiac surgery is available to most patients, only you and your surgeon can determine which approach is best for your situation. The following procedures can benefit from minimally invasive cardiac surgery: • Aortic valve repair • Mitral valve replacement • Ventricular assist device • Aortic valve repair • Tricuspid valve repair • Coronary bypass • Atrial septal repair 5 key benefits of minimally invasive cardiac surgery  There is less pain. Because open-heart surgery necessitates a big incision and the fracturing of the breastbone, health-care providers place a high priority on postoperative pain and discomfor...

Overview Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat problems in the chest. During a VATS procedure, a tiny camera and surgical tools are inserted into the chest through one or more small cuts in the chest wall. The camera, called a thoracoscope, sends images of the inside of the chest to a video monitor. These images guide the surgeon during the procedure. Why it's done Surgeons use the VATS technique for a variety of procedures, such as: • Tissue removal to diagnose chest cancers, including lung cancer and pleural mesothelioma, a type of cancer which affects the tissue that surrounds the lungs. • Lung surgery, such as surgery to treat lung cancer and lung volume reduction surgery. • Procedures to remove excess fluid or air from the area around the lungs. • Surgery to relieve excessive sweating, a condition called hyperhidrosis. • Surgery to treat problems with the esophagus, the muscular tube that car...

 Vascular Surgery What is Vascular surgery? Vascular surgery is a specialty discipline in surgery that deals with diseases of the vascular system. This is the circulatory system in the body and it comprises the blood vessels, lymph vessels, and the lymphatic system. The blood vessels include the arteries, veins, and capillaries. The arteries carry blood away from the heart while the veins carry blood to the heart. The capillaries distribute oxygen-rich blood to the body. The lymph vessels transport the lymphatic fluid, which has blood cells. The lymphatic system draws lymph away from each part of the body. The vascular system can have problems causing diseases. These diseases affect the working of the vascular system. A vascular disease can be treated through vascular surgery. A vascular surgeon is one who is trained in using surgical techniques to treat different kinds of vascular diseases. The vascular surgeon is responsible for the diagnosis, treatment, and overall management of...

  Heart Bypass Surgery Heart bypass surgery creates a new route, called a bypass, for blood and oxygen to go around a blockage to reach your heart. Description Before your surgery, you will get general anesthesia. You will be asleep (unconscious) and pain-free during surgery. Once you are unconscious, the heart surgeon will make an 8 to 10-inch (20.5 to 25.5 cm) surgical cut in the middle of your chest. Your breastbone will be separated to create an opening. This allows your surgeon to see your heart and aorta, the main blood vessel leading from the heart to the rest of your body. Most people who have coronary bypass surgery are connected to a heart-lung bypass machine or bypass pump. Your heart is stopped while you are connected to this machine. This machine does the work of your heart and lungs while your heart is stopped for the surgery. The machine adds oxygen to your blood, moves blood through your body, and removes carbon dioxide. Another type of bypass surgery does not use t...
