Procedures for heart problems
Click to know more about our cardiac procedures.
Balloon Valvotomy
This is a non-surgical procedure performed by a cardiologist to open up narrowed valves. As part of the procedure, a special catheter with a balloon at the tip is positioned in such a way that the balloon tip is inside the narrowed valve. The balloon is inflated and deflated repeatedly to widen the valve opening post which the balloon is deflated and removed. The procedure takes around an hour but the patient might have to stay in the hospital for a day.
Pacemaker Implantation
This procedure involves implanting a pacemaker in the chest (usually just below the collarbone). Pacemaker is an electronic device that helps regulate the heartbeat in cases where it is slow or irregular.
Bypass Surgery (CABG)
CABG, Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery, is a treatment for coronary artery disease (CAD). CAD involves narrowing of coronary arteries due to build-up of fatty material on the insides of the arteries, thereby causing blockages. The CABG procedure involves bypassing the blocked portion of the artery with a blood vessel (or graft) from a different part of the body.
Angioplasty
A coronary angioplasty is a surgical procedure used to widen blocked or narrowed coronary arteries, the main blood vessels supplying the heart. The procedure is also called a percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty or percutaneous coronary intervention.
Angiography
A coronary angiogram or coronary angiography is a non-surgical procedure that uses X-ray imaging test to see if there's a restriction in blood flow going to the heart.
EP Study
A cardiac electrophysiology study is a minimally invasive procedure using catheters introduced through a vein or artery to record electrical activity from within the heart.
TAVI
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a less invasive approach to treat a diseased aortic valve which involves inserting a catheter into a blood vessel in your upper leg or chest and passing it towards your aortic valve.

What is an EPS study?
An EP study or electrophysiology study is a procedure that helps to determine the heart’s electrical activity.
Who requires an electrophysiology (EPS) study?
People with irregular heart beat also known as arrhythmias will require an electrophysiology study.
Do I have to fast before an EPS procedure?
You should remain on fast for 12 hours before the procedure. However, you can take a few sips of water before 2 hours of an EP study.
How long does it take for an electrophysiology study?
It takes anywhere between two to six hours to complete an electrophysiology procedure.
For how long should I stay in hospital after the procedure?
EPS study is an outpatient procedure. You can return home on the same day of the procedure. However, the doctor might ask you to stay back based on your condition after an EPS study.
Can I drive home after the procedure?
The soreness of the EPS procedure will remain for a few days. It is not suggested to drive a vehicle for at least one week after the procedure.
How quickly can I resume work after an EPS study?
If your work isn’t strenuous, you can get back to work after 3-4 days of the procedure. However, ensure that you avoid excessive strain for the initial few days after the procedure.
What are the risks involved with the procedure?
The risks associated with the procedure are unlikely. However, in rarest of the rare cases, there could be bleeding or bruising at the site of catheter insertion and blood clots in lungs or legs.
Can I do regular household chores after an EPS study?
You might feel slight pain at the catheter insertion site after the procedure is done. Do not involve yourself in lifting heavy weights or do strenuous work until your incision site is completely healed.
What is RFA?
RFA or radiofrequency ablation is a common type of catheter ablation that is performed to determine several conditions that result in irregular heartbeat.
Is it normal to have pain after Radiofrequency ablation (RFA)?
It is normal to experience some amount of pain after an RFA procedure. It might take up to two to three weeks of time until you find a noticeable decrease in the amount of pain.
How long will an angioplasty process take?
The procedure takes about 30 minutes to complete and you will be awake the entire time
When can I go home after angioplasty?

What has to be done before an angioplasty?
You would require a routine blood test and an electrocardiogram before the procedure.
What is Angioplasty?
When one of the arteries in the heart gets blocked, it is treated by a procedure called angioplasty. In this procedure, a stent is placed in the artery to clear the blockage. This gets the blood flowing into the artery again.
What causes a blockage in an artery?
Arteries carry blood from the heart to other parts of the body. Over time, they accumulate plaque which is made of fat deposits, calcium, cholesterol and other wastes.
Having high blood pressure, eating foods high in cholesterol, diabetes and smoking increase the chances of accumulation of plaque in the arteries.
What are the symptoms that indicate the need for coronary angioplasty?
As plaque slowly builds up in an artery, there are no signs of it. But, when the artery gets blocked, people experience:
Shortness of breath
Chest pain
Tightness in the chest
Heart attack
