Angiography

Coronary Angiography

Coronary angiography is a test used to find out how much narrowing there is in your arteries. Learn what to expect and when you might get a stent.

What is angiography and how is it done?

Angiography is an imaging test that uses X-rays to view your body’s blood vessels. The X-rays provided by an angiography are called angiograms. This test is used to study narrow, blocked, enlarged, or malformed arteries or veins in many parts of your body, including your brain, heart, abdomen, and legs.

A coronary angiogram is an X-ray of the arteries in the heart. This shows the extent and severity of any heart disease, and can help you to figure out how well your heart is working. With this information, you and your doctor can talk through your treatment options. These may include angioplasty (stents) , bypass graft surgery or medications.

Angioplasty

Coronary angioplasty (AN-jee-o-plas-tee), also called percutaneous coronary intervention, is a procedure used to open clogged heart arteries. Angioplasty involves temporarily inserting and inflating a tiny balloon where your artery is clogged to help widen the artery.

Angioplasty is often combined with the permanent placement of a small wire mesh tube called a stent to help prop the artery open and decrease its chance of narrowing again. Some stents are coated with medication to help keep your artery open (drug-eluting stents), while others are not (bare-metal stents).

Angioplasty can improve symptoms of blocked arteries, such as chest pain and shortness of breath. Angioplasty can also be used during a heart attack to quickly open a blocked artery and reduce the amount of damage to your heart.

Cardiac Surgeries

The cardiac surgery program at Ruby Hall Clinic offers the following treatments and procedures:

Aortic surgery

Surgery to repair or replace aortic aneurysms and aortic dissections.

Aortic valve surgery

Surgery to repair or replace an aortic valve that is not working correctly.

Arrhythmia surgery

A surgical procedure to correct irregular heart rhythms such as atrial fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia.

Congenital heart surgery

Corrective surgery to fix or treat a genetic heart defect.

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery

A surgical procedure used in which the blocked portion of the coronary artery is bypassed with another piece of blood vessel.

Heart transplant

A surgical option to treat advanced heart failure, a condition that occurs when the heart can’t pump enough oxygenated blood to meet the needs of the body’s organs.

Left ventricular assist device (LVAD)

A mechanical device which aids in the pumping function of the blood.

Left ventricular remodeling/surgical ventricular restoration

A technique that provides the heart with a more normal shape after a heart attack, allowing it to pump blood more efficiently.

Myectomy/myotomy

A surgical treatment option that removes a portion of the enlarged heart wall.

Transmyocardial revascularization (TMR)

A procedure used to relieve severe angina or chest pain in patients who aren’t candidates for bypass surgery or angioplasty.

Valvular surgery

Heart valve surgery used to repair or replace diseased heart valves.

CCU

There are more than 100 beds dedicated to Cardiac diseases, which include state-of-art 36 bedded Coronary Care Unit designed & functioning under veteran cardiologist & founder director Dr. R.B. Gulati at Ruby Hall Clinic.

Heart Transplants

Twenty million people worldwide suffer from heart failure, of which India witnesses two million new cases every year with at least a third of them requiring a heart transplant to survive. A heart transplant is performed when end-stage heart failure or heart injury can’t be treated by any other medical or surgical means. It’s reserved for those individuals with a high risk of dying from heart disease within one or two years.

Adding to its comprehensive list of organ transplants, Ruby Hall Clinic was the first hospital in Pune to have received a license to undertake this procedure. The heart transplant program here has the depth and experience to successfully treat those patients for whom transplant is the answer, as well as the many patients for whom it is not. Our heart transplant team is experienced in evaluating high-risk patients and understands what transplantation can provide.

Based on the evaluation results, the transplant team decides whether or not a heart transplant is appropriate as the best therapeutic option.

The decision to proceed with a heart transplant represents a lifelong commitment to self-care and medical follow-up, so the ultimate decision rests with the patients. Only you can evaluate your quality of life and determine whether or not a heart transplant is worth pursuing.

Paediatric Cardiology

Heart ailments are often thought of as an affliction of the adults. But unfortunately, children too suffer from, for no fault of their own, serious, and even life threatening cardiac conditions. Therefore Managing Trustee Dr. Purvez Grant deemed it necessary that the Ruby Hall Clinic have a dedicated paediatric cardiology unit.

From accurate and timely diagnosis to appropriate and proficient treatment, the paediatric cardiology unit provides end-to-end cardiac care right from 18 weeks of gestation. These include both care and correction for congenital heart diseases like

Atrial Septal Defect
Ventricular Septal Defect
Patent Ductus Arteriosus
Fallot’s Tetralogy
Congenital valve stenosis
Coarctation of the aorta and pulmonary artery
Coronary AV fistulas
Pulmonary arterio-venous malformations
Aortopulmonary collaterals

as well as treatment for acquired cardiac conditions like

Rheumatic Heart Disease
Myocarditis
Cardiomyopathies

Our cardiac catheterization procedures offer treatment of many congenital heart defects without an open heart surgery, that include closure of septal defects, balloon dilatation and stenting.

Our paediatric cardiac care facility also provides the full spectrum of paediatric electrophysiology services including

Radiofrequency ablation
Transcatheter cryoablation, and
Intraoperative cryoablation

Here are answers to some basic questions to help guide you through your journey at Ruby Hall Clinic:

Q: Do cardiac tests hurt?

A: At Ruby Hall Clinic, patient comfort is of utmost priority and our doctors ensure that all tests are as minimally invasive as possible. While most procedures are comfortable and pain free, we may beed to draw blood for diagnostic samples, be rest assured our diagnosticians have ample expertise and place your comfort above all.

Q: What are some factors that put me at risk for cardiac problems?

A: While there are a variety of factors that can put you at risk for cardiac problems, a good lifestyle can eradicate some of the risks. However, some factors include smoking tobacco, high cholesterol or blood pressure, excess physical exertion or physical inactivity, obesity or diabetes.

Q: Am I a candidate for heart surgery?

A: At the Department of Cardiology, our experts provide medical management, treatments or lifestyle modification guidelines to help treat your condition. If these treatments have not worked for you, or can’t be used to treat your cardiac condition, heart surgery might be an option. In such instances, our specialists will work with you to decide whether heart surgery is the best treatment option for you.

Q: What are the risks of heart surgery?

A: While our hospital offers stellar results for heart surgery, it is important to understand that as with any other surgery, this too, comes with risks. Some of these include bleeding, inflammation or infection, a reaction to anaesthesia, damage to other organs or in rare cases, death. However, these risks are higher if surgery is performed in emergency situations, or if the patient has underlying conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease, lung disease, or peripheral arterial disease. Before finalising on surgery, our specialists go over the potential risks with you and help determine the course of treatment that’s best for you.

Q: How soon should someone be treated if they suffer from a heart attack?

A: Heart attacks refer to the death of heart muscle and are caused by a block in the artery. Current technology allows for the re-opening of blocked arteries to preserve heart muscle and thereby heart function. For this purpose, we highly recommend that medical help be sought as soon as chest pain and associated symptoms occur. Most often, heart attacks treated in the earliest possible time frame have the best chances for a smooth, swift recovery.
