Angioplasty C Stenting

A non-surgical, catheter-based technique used to treat narrowed or blocked coronary arteries.

Procedure: A balloon-tipped catheter is inserted through a blood vessel in the groin or wrist and guided to the affected artery. The balloon is inflated to open the blockage, followed by the placement of a stent (a metal mesh tube) to keep the artery open.
Benefits: Quick recovery, avoids open surgery, immediate symptom relief.
Recovery: Most patients are discharged in 1–2 days, with a return to routine activities in a week.
Risks: Restenosis (re-narrowing), bleeding, allergic reaction to contrast dye.

A major open-heart surgery performed to restore normal blood flow to an obstructed coronary artery.

Procedure: Grafts (from leg, arm, or chest) are used to bypass blocked sections of the arteries. Performed under general anesthesia using heart-lung bypass machines.
Benefits: Long-term relief from angina, improved heart function and survival in severe cases.
Recovery: Hospital stay of 5–7 days, full recovery in 6–8 weeks.
Risks: Infection, arrhythmia, stroke, and bleeding.

Used to correct malfunctioning heart valves due to stenosis or regurgitation.

Procedure: Involves repairing or replacing valves using mechanical or bioprosthetic (animal tissue) options. Can be done via open-heart surgery or minimally invasive techniques (TAVI/TAVR).
Benefits: Improved cardiac output, relief from breathlessness and fatigue, prolonged life.
Recovery: Depends on surgical type; 2–8 weeks typically.
Risks: Clot formation, valve failure, need for repeat surgery.

Complex procedures addressing congenital heart diseases such as Tetralogy of Fallot, ASD/VSD, or transposition of the great arteries.

Procedure: Conducted by pediatric cardiac surgeons, often within the first few months of life.
Benefits: Corrects life-threatening defects, enables normal growth and development.
Recovery: NICU care may be required post-op. Full recovery varies depending on condition severity.
Risks: Infection, heart rhythm issues, long-term monitoring needs.
