Conditions Treated Under CTVS
This field addresses a wide range of medical issues:
● Heart Diseases

Complications like heart attack and heart failure or stroke can be avoided with treatment of these disorders.
● Lung Disorders
A. For infective lung conditions like empyema, lung abscess, brocheiactasis, aspergilloma, hydatid cyst etc.
B. For cyst and tumours involving lung, chest cavity or chest wall.
C. For COPD patient with severe emphysema or large bullaes.
● Vascular Issues
This includes peripheral vascular disease, which is a decrease in blood flow to the limbs causing pain, non-healing wounds / ulcers or gangrene;
Blockage in brain arteries which can cause stroke / TIA / Vertigo
Aneurysms, which are abnormal bulges inside the blood arteries that may rupture if left untreated. Varicose veins, which cause chronic pain, swelling and may result in further complications like ulcers, bleeding and skin problems if left untreated
Deep Venous Thrombosis which causes acute pain and swelling and pulmonary embolism, a potentially fatal obstruction inside the lung’s blood arteries, CTVS is essential.
● Emergency Cases
Any accident can cause major vascular injuries or chest injuries which frequently necessitate emergency surgery to save lives.

● Cardiac Bypass Surgeries: Bypassing clogged arteries, these procedures create new pathways for blood to flow to the heart. It is among the most often used treatments for serious coronary heart disease.
● Heart Valve Surgeries: In order to restore appropriate blood flow, damaged heart valves must be repaired or replaced. There are even more sophisticated methods available such as minimally invasive valve replacement.
● Congenital Heart Surgeries: These surgical procedures aim to improve patients’ long-term prognosis by addressing structural heart abnormalities at birth.
● Heart Failure Surgeries in CAD: Specialised procedures to improve heart function and quality of life for patients with severe heart failure and coronary artery disease (CAD).
● ECMO Initiation & Management: By oxygenating blood outside the body, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation provides life support for those suffering from severe cardiac or respiratory failure.
● LVAD Implantation: Frequently utilised as a bridge to a heart transplant, left ventricular assist devices are used to support failing heart ventricles.
●Aortic Root Surgeries: These are complicated treatments used to address an aortic issue, such as an aneurysm, which can be life-threatening.
●Trans catheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI): Ideal for high-risk patients, this minimally invasive treatment treats a constricted aortic valve without the need for open heart surgery.
●Aortic Interventions (Open and Endovascular): For aortic blockages, aneurysms and disections.
● Carotid Intervention (Open and Endovascular): To avoid strokes or aneurysm rupture, treat blockages in the carotid arteries.
● Peripheral Arterial intervention (Open and Endovascular): Increase limb blood flow in blocked arteries and repair abnormally dilated or dissected arteries.
