Heart Surgery
Heart
surgery requires a highly experienced, dedicated team of specialists.
The cardiac surgeon team and specialist nurses work closely together, providing
professional care and attention to the patient, from the initial stage of
treatment up to the post- operative period.
Dr. Kit Arom, MD, PhD, a world
renowned cardiac surgeon who spent over 30 years at the Minneapolis Heart
Institute in Minnesota USA, leads the cardiac surgery team of the Bangkok Heart
Hospital.
Coronary Artery
Bypass Surgery (CABG)
Coronary Artery Bypass
Surgery is carried out on patients suffering from ischemic heart disease.
Cardiac surgeons use this technique with or without a heart-lung machine. We
offer coronary artery bypass surgeries according to the needs of the patient,
including :
-
Off-Pump or Beating Heart Surgery
- This technique avoids the use of heart-lung
machine, reducing side effects.
-
Minimally Invasive Incision
- Specialists use a small incision to avoid
damage to the tissue. This is a less painful procedure that reduces risk
of complication and provides a faster recovery period.
-
All
Arterial Conduits
- Using arterial conduits eliminates leg incision.
Arterial conduits also provide better long-term patency compared to the
commonly used vein grafts.
The
Bangkok Heart Hospital offers the best surgical treatment of coronary artery
disease in the region, through a combination of Off-Pump, small incision and all
artery conduits.
Along with coronary artery bypass surgery, we
also provide other cardiothoracic surgeries :
