List of Treatments:

Dr. Sathyaki Nambala being a senior cardiothoracic surgeon is available for following treatments:

Implantation of Biodegradable scaffolds: Biodegradable scaffolds are widely regarded as essential components for creating live tissues because they serve as temporary templates with mechanical and biological qualities similar to natural extracellular matrix. Highly experiences cardiac surgeons are required for this type of implantation procedure.

Heart Failure: Heart failure occurs when the heart muscle fails to adequately pump blood. Blood frequently backs up, causing fluid to accumulate in the lungs and legs. Medications are often prescribe by the doctor for the treatment of heart failure and sometimes a heart surgery depending on the severity of heart’s condition.

Implantation of Pacemaker: Pacemaker implantation is a technique that involves inserting a tiny battery-powered device known as a pacemaker into your chest. The pacemaker provides regular electrical impulses to your heart, which helps it beat normally. The surgeon connects the lead's tip to your heart and the other end to the pacemaker box.

Coronary revascularization surgery: Coronary revascularization is a group of treatments or procedures that restore blood flow to areas of your heart that aren't getting enough blood to meet their needs. Rather than open-heart surgery, your surgeon attaches (grafts) a healthy vessel (often taken from the leg) to the diseased or narrowed heart vessel. After that, blood "bypasses" the sick spot and goes through the new channel.

Cardiac OPD Procedures: Cardiac OPD operations are those that are conducted on a regular schedule and do not need a hospital admission. History taking, examination, blood tests, the electrocardiogram, event evaluation, cardiac stress testing, electrophysiological study, and other procedures are conducted in the cardiac OPD.

Complex Angioplasty Rotablation: It is simply a drilling method that clears the interior of the arteries to allow the balloon and stent to flow more readily. Senior Consultant Interventional Cardiologist performs the procedure. This treatment is performed on a very limited basis by cardiologists in South East Asia.

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS): Your cardiologist can use IVUS to see your aorta and coronary arteries (blood vessels that deliver blood to the heart) in amazing detail. The examination exposes your artery walls in greater detail than coronary angiography, including any development of fat deposits (plaque). IVUS is a relatively safe technique.

Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR): The fractional flow reserve (FFR) is calculated by dividing the maximum possible blood flow in a diseased coronary artery by the theoretical maximum flow in a normal coronary artery. An FFR of 1.0 is typically considered normal.

Pulmonary hypertension: When the pressure in the blood veins flowing from the heart to the lungs becomes too high, this is referred to as pulmonary hypertension. Medications such as Epoprostenol is given to the patients with pulmonary hypertension.

Aortic Aneurysm Surgery: Depending on the location of the ruptured vessel, the surgeon first create a big cut in stomach or chest. The blood vessel is then eliminated and the transplant stitched in its place. This transplant is often a leak-proof polyester tube. The recovery time for open surgical repair is around one month.

Heart Transplant: A heart transplant is a procedure that replaces a failing heart with a healthy donor heart. Heart transplantation is often reserved for patients whose health has not improved sufficiently with medicines or other surgical procedures. While a heart transplant is a significant surgery, with proper follow-up treatment, your chances of survival are strong.

Congenital heart repairs: Open surgery is often used to correct congenital heart abnormalities. However, in rare situations, similar treatments can be performed utilizing minimally invasive approaches. Catheter treatments or surgery are used by doctors to fix congenital heart abnormalities. Your child's therapy will be determined by the kind and severity of his or her heart problem.

Ambulatory BP Monitoring (ABPM): Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is a way of continually monitoring your blood pressure for 24 hours. Even when you sleep, your blood pressure is monitored. The continuous data allows your doctor to receive a more precise view of your blood pressure statistics.

ECG-Treadmill Test TMT: A cardiac stress test or treadmill test is a cardiology test that assesses the heart's capacity to react to external stress in the context of clinical practice. This is the most basic and easy evaluation of functional response of heart to physical strain. It involves the regular monitoring of blood pressure and cardiac rates of the patient by using an exercise protocols or treadmill or a bicycle.

24 Hour Holter Monitoring: Holter monitoring is a technique used to assess how the heart reacts to regular activities. The monitor can also be utilised following a heart attack. To identify cardiac rhythm issues that may be producing symptoms like irregular heartbeats or hypotension.

Minimal invasive cardiac surgery: It is a surgical procedure in which instead than cutting through the breastbone as in open-heart surgery, minimally invasive cardiac surgery entails making tiny incisions on the right side of the chest to reach the heart between the ribs. A number of cardiac problems can be treated using minimally invasive heart surgery.

ECMO: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a sort of mechanical life support that can assist a person whose lungs and heart aren't working properly. ECMO constantly removes blood from your body and routes it through devices that provide oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.

VAD: A ventricular assist device (VAD) is a device that assists in the pumping of blood from the heart's lower chambers to the rest of the body. It is used to treat a weak heart or heart failure. A VAD may be used to assist the heart while alternative therapies, such as a heart transplant, are being considered.
