Cardiac Surgery, today has evolved into a service which is in demand everywhere especially in India and the developing world.

An ageing population and the epidemic of Coronary Artery Disease which India and surrounding countries face make cardiac surgical facilities essential.

Operating on the most Central Organ of the body demands the best of Human Resources, Technical Skills, Equipment and Team effort. There are no margins for error. World class centers have a mortality of less than 1% in uncomplicated Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery.

At the Asian Heart Institute we have consistently maintained a mortality of 0.5% or less in the 3 years of our existence. The 1337 Cardiac operations done in 2005 makes us one among the top 5 cardiac centers in India and our surgical mortality of 0.3% for isolated coronary artery bypass surgery including high risk patients is on par with the best Cardiac centers in the world. In the last 3 years we have grown form doing 806 operations to 1337 operations annually and in the last year alone the growth has been 25%.

The fact that all Coronary cases are done on the beating heart and arterial conduits are used in 96 % of cases means lesser complications and longer survival for the patients.

Apart from the Coronary Artery Surgery the Department does the following operations on a routine basis:

• The Maze Procedure for Atrial Fibrillation
• Valve Repair and Replacement
• Aneurysm Surgery of Aorta and Blood vessels
  are all done by the department with results on par with the best centers.

Our Pediatric surgical team operates on all types of cardiac conditions in children.
