Invasive cardiology — treatment without open surgery

Heart surgeons specialize in endovascular cardiac operations performed through a thin tube (catheter). Such interventions do not require a sternum incision, a patient gets the surgery more easily and recovers in 1-4 days.

Such endovascular operations are carried out by Zulekha doctors:

• stenting — the stents (bars) installation to narrow vessels;
• balloon angioplasty — distension narrowed vessels;
• balloon valvuloplasty — opening up of the heart valves;
• treatment of atrial and interventricular septal defects;
• replacement of heart valves with artificial implants.

Heart surgeries

Doctors conduct open and minimally invasive interventions on the heart and blood vessels.

Minimally invasive procedures are performed by doctors through punctures in the skin up to 1-2 cm or small incisions up to 10 cm (during traditional surgery — 20 cm). Patients recover more quickly after such an operation in comparison with the open one. No large scars remain.

A doctor chooses the most effective and safe surgical method based on the patient’s diagnosis, age, and associated diseases.

Heart surgeons specialize in performing such operations as:

• coronary bypass graft;
• valve replacement and correction;
• treatment of congenital and acquired heart defects;
• pacemaker, defibrillator implantation.
