Description
I have been advised to undergo bypass surgery for my heart condition. Is RTIICS (RN Tagore Hospital), Kolkata a good hospital for this treatment?
Dear Swapnil Sharma ji
Yes, RTIICS (RN Tagore Hospital), Mukundapur, Kolkata is a well-established cardiac and multispeciality hospital and is a suitable hospital to consider for bypass treatment. The hospital is JCI and NABH accredited and has dedicated cardiac infrastructure, including 6 operation theatres for cardiac procedures, 5 catheterisation laboratories, critical-care facilities, and a multidisciplinary cardiac team.
The hospital’s listed CTVS services include coronary bypass treatment, along with other cardiac procedures such as valve replacement and open-heart procedures. The hospital page also reports extensive experience in cardiac procedures and a dedicated team involving cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, anaesthesiologists and intensivists.
Before deciding, it is important to consult a cardiac surgeon who can review your angiography, ECG, echocardiogram and other reports and explain whether bypass is the most appropriate treatment for your specific condition. You can also ask about the surgeon’s experience with cases similar to yours, expected benefits and risks, hospital stay, recovery time and estimated treatment cost.
Choosing the right hospital depends on your individual heart condition, overall health, urgency of treatment and the treating cardiac team. A second opinion can also be considered if you are uncertain about the recommendation.
Wishing you and your family good health always.
Warm regards,
