Whether it is fixing a blockage in the heart’s pipes (Bypass) or repairing a valve that isn’t opening properly, our surgical team is trained to handle these complex tasks. we bring advanced heart surgery to Patna at a cost that common families can manage.

Our Main Services

1. Bypass Surgery (CABG)

This is the most common heart operation. When the “pipes” (arteries) supplying blood to the heart get blocked, the heart becomes weak and can stop. Our surgeon takes a healthy blood vessel from the leg or chest and uses it to “bypass” the blockage, restoring blood flow. This prevents future heart attacks.

2. Heart Valve Repair & Replacement

The heart has “doors” called valves that keep blood flowing in the right direction. If these doors become tight or leaky, the patient feels very breathless. We can either repair these valves or replace them with new ones (mechanical or tissue valves) so the heart can pump easily again.

3. Lung & Chest Surgery

Apart from the heart, our surgeons also operate on the lungs. This includes removing tumors (gath), fixing a collapsed lung, or draining pus/fluid that has collected around the lungs due to TB or serious infections.

4. Vascular (Blood Vessel) Surgery

We fix problems in the main “tubes” of the body. This includes treating “Varicose Veins” (swollen blue veins in the legs) or fixing injuries to blood vessels caused by accidents.

5. Congenital Heart Surgery (Hole in the Heart)

Some children are born with a hole in their heart or pipes that are not connected correctly. Our surgeons perform delicate operations to fix these birth defects so the child can grow up healthy.

Detailed Guide: What to Expect During Heart Surgery

We want you to feel prepared. Here is how we take care of you:

1. Before Surgery: We do many tests (Blood, X-ray, Echo) to make sure your body is strong enough for the operation.
2. The Operation: You will be put into a deep sleep (Anesthesia). You will feel no pain at all. The surgery can take 3 to 6 hours depending on the problem.
