Frequently Asked Questions
What is bypass surgery (CABG)?
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is a procedure in which new blood vessels are used to bypass blocked or narrowed heart arteries. This restores healthy blood flow to the heart muscle and significantly reduces the risk of heart attack.
What are the benefits of minimally invasive heart surgery?
Minimally invasive cardiac surgery is performed through small incisions, resulting in less pain, minimal bleeding, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery, quicker return to routine activities, and excellent cosmetic results.
When is ECMO required?
ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) is used when the heart and lungs become too weak to support the body despite maximum medical therapy. It temporarily acts as an external heart and lung, allowing the patient’s organs to rest and recover.
Can congenital heart diseases be treated surgically?
Yes. Most congenital and pediatric heart defects can be successfully corrected through surgery. With modern techniques and experienced surgeons, the majority of children go on to lead normal, healthy lives.
How long does recovery take after heart surgery?
Recovery varies depending on the type of surgery, but with advanced techniques such as small-incision, beating-heart, and zero-transfusion procedures, most patients recover significantly faster than traditional open-heart surgery.
Is heart surgery safe for elderly patients?
Yes. With proper evaluation, advanced technology, and an experienced surgical team, elderly patients—including those with multiple medical conditions—can safely undergo heart surgery with excellent results.
Do patients always need blood transfusion during heart surgery?
Not necessarily. Dr. Keshri specialises in zero-transfusion CABG and other cardiac procedures, significantly reducing the need for blood products while improving recovery and safety.
