Endovascular Aortic Repair (EVAR)

Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat certain types of aortic aneurysms and dissections. It is an alternative to open surgery and involves the placement of a stent graft inside the aorta to reinforce and stabilize the weakened or damaged section of the vessel. Advantages of EVAR over traditional open surgery include shorter hospital stays, reduced blood loss, faster recovery times, and lower overall morbidity and mortality rates. However, not all patients with aortic aneurysms or dissections are suitable candidates for EVAR. Factors such as the size, location, and shape of the aneurysm, as well as the patient's overall health, are taken into consideration when determining the most appropriate treatment approach.

TAVI

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in patients with severe symptomatic Aortic stenosis. It is a minimally invasive procedure where the diseased Aortic Valve is changed through the catheter advanced over thigh artery via a small hole in the groin, there by negating the risks of complex surgery and anaesthesia.

Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy (CRTD)

CRTD is a combo device with capabilities of bi ventricular pacing and intra cardiac defibrillation . It is indicated in severe LV dysfunction with wide QRS on ECG who are in NYHA class III-IV .

Permanent Pacemaker

A pacemaker is a small device operated through a battery. It sends electrical impulses to the heart muscle to maintain a suitable heart rate and rhythm. A pacemaker may be used to treat fainting spells (syncope), congestive heart failure, and, rarely, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The pacemaker has two parts: the leads and a pulse generator. The pulse generator houses the battery and a tiny computer, and resides just under the skin of the chest. The leads are wires that are threaded through the veins into the heart and implanted into the heart muscle. They send impulses from the pulse generator to the heart muscle, as well as sense the heart's electrical activity. Each impulse causes the heart to contract. The pacemaker may have one to three leads, depending on the type of pacemaker needed to treat your heart problem.
