Cardiology >> Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting


Medical tours to India have become popular owing to the state of the art medical facilities available in the country. The modern cardiology departments at the super specialty hospitals in India have ensured that you can avail complex procedures like coronary angiography and angioplasty, as well as coronary artery bypass grafting.

Coronary artery bypass grafting, or bypass surgery, is also known as "open heart" surgery. The procedure aims at providing alternate routes for blood to flow to the heart, "by passing" a clogged artery. This is crucial in preventing heart attacks brought on by insufficient blood and nutrient supply to the heart.

The cardiology experts at the Apollo and other hospitals in India are experts at this kind of complex procedure. The coronary artery bypass grafting requires that patients be connected to heart lung machines throughout the operation, so this surgery should be performed only by expert cardiac surgeons. At the Apollo Hospital and other Indian hospitals, the best and most experienced surgeons perform this surgery, increasing the patient's chance of total recovery.

The 15 bed Intensive Care Unit at the hospital is alert round the clock, and doctors and nurses work in tandem to prevent any unforeseen complications. The cardiology labs, with color Doppler, and holter monitoring system, are well equipped to handle the coronary artery bypass grafting procedures.
