Which Cardiac Surgeons in Bangalore Perform Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)?

Dear Somnath Banerjee ji,

If you or a family member has blocked heart arteries and needs Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), commonly called heart bypass surgery, Bangalore has experienced cardiothoracic and vascular surgeons who perform this treatment. CABG creates a new route for blood to reach the heart muscle when coronary arteries are severely blocked.

For CABG, the most relevant specialist is a cardiothoracic and vascular surgeon (CTVS surgeon), rather than a cardiologist who primarily provides medical treatment, angiography, or angioplasty. Based on the hospital and doctor profiles available, the following are relevant options for a CABG consultation.

1. Narayana Institute of Cardiac Sciences, Bommasandra

This is a dedicated cardiac hospital with a cardiothoracic and vascular surgery department. Its team treats coronary artery disease and performs conventional and beating-heart bypass procedures.

• Dr. Devi Prasad Shetty - 47+ years of experience
  Dr. Devi Prasad Shetty is a senior cardiothoracic and vascular surgeon whose expertise includes adult coronary artery bypass grafting, complex heart valve reconstruction, and repeat cardiac operations.
  
  
• Dr. Dhaded Sanjay Basavaraj - 41+ years of experience
  Dr. Dhaded specialises in adult coronary artery bypass surgery, including conventional on-pump and beating-heart bypass techniques. His other areas of expertise include heart valve surgery and aortic surgery.

2. Manipal Hospital, Old Airport Road

Manipal Hospital, Old Airport Road, is another option for patients seeking assessment for coronary artery disease and cardiac surgery. Its cardiothoracic and vascular surgery specialists treat major heart conditions, including those that may require bypass surgery.

3. Mazumdar Shaw Medical Center, Bommasandra

Mazumdar Shaw Medical Center has a cardiothoracic and vascular surgery service and is another option for patients with complex heart conditions requiring specialist evaluation.

• Dr. Srikrishna S. V. - 47+ years of experience
  
  Dr. Srikrishna S. V. is a senior cardiothoracic and vascular surgeon listed at Mazumdar Shaw Medical Center. His profile identifies his cardiac surgery specialty. The available profile information does not establish enough CABG-specific detail to describe his individual bypass experience further.

What should you bring to the cardiac surgeon?

• Coronary angiography report and images.
• ECG and echocardiography reports.
• Blood test results and previous discharge summaries.
• Current medicines and details of any previous heart treatment.

The cardiac surgeon will review the reports and explain whether CABG is appropriate or whether another treatment may be suitable. The choice depends on the number and location of blocked arteries, heart function, other medical conditions, and the patient's overall health.

Wishing you and your family good health always.
Warm regards,
