Treatments

Minimal Invasive Cardiac

Overview

AIMS Hospital for Cardio Vascular & Thoracic Surgeon is one of the leading and most advanced centre in Dombivali , known for using the most excellent techniques and latest innovations. The minimally invasive procedure for the heart.

The group of cardiovascular specialists and surgeons has extensive training and expertise in performing delicate minimally invasive cardiac surgery. Because it lowers the likelihood of any complications following surgery, MICS is used to treat a variety of cardiac conditions and has shown great success in treating even the most complicated heart diseases.

In addition to providing the greatest care, we at AIMS Hospital for Cardio Vascular & Thoracic Surgeons also look after you following surgery and help you live a healthy life going forward.

Vascular Disease Causes

Plaque accumulation in the arteries, which narrows and limits blood flow, is known as atherosclerosis.

Hypertension: Blood vessel damage may arise from prolonged increased blood pressure.

Diabetes: It destroys small blood arteries and raises the risk of atherosclerosis.

Smoking: It raises the risk of atherosclerosis and destroys blood vessel walls.

Obesity: Being overweight puts stress on the blood vessels and heart.

High Cholesterol: Plaque accumulation in arteries can be caused by elevated cholesterol levels.

Family History: A person's susceptibility to vascular disorders may be greatly influenced by their genes.

Sedentary Lifestyle: Poor circulation and vascular issues can be exacerbated by a lack of physical activity.

Age: As blood vessels naturally deteriorate, the risk of vascular disorders rises.

Poor Diet: Consuming a lot of processed foods, sweets, and bad fats might lead to vascular problems.

Services

• Dr. Pankaj Pohekar performs various kinds of vascular procedures, such as:
• Compared to traditional varicose vein removal, endovenous laser therapy is a quicker, less painful process that also has a quicker recovery period.
• Repairing an arterial bulge surgically is known as "aortic aneurysm repair," and it helps prevent complications that could endanger countless lives.
• Surgery to restore blood flow to the brain in order to prevent a stroke is known as carotid artery surgery.
• The process of bypass surgery for peripheral artery disease involves creating new blood vessels to alleviate symptoms and enhance quality of life.
• His knowledge of more recent methods allows him to provide patients with the greatest outcomes while reducing recuperation time.

Facilities

Dr. Pankaj Pohekar works in a clinical setting that is equipped with modern equipment and superior performance features. This allows for precise diagnosis and treatment plans, ensuring that patients receive quality care in a comfortable environment. Furthermore, allosteric pain management during surgery is optimized because the facilities are made to be secure and comfortable for the patients

Preventing Vascular Conditions

To stop the progression or recurrence of the disease, the consultant helps the patients modify their risk factors prior to surgery. They could suggest:

• Encouraging quitting smoking
• Managing diabetes
• Healthful dietary changes
• Adequate footwear that provides therapeutic and preventative advantages

Diagnosis

• Clinical Examination: Clinical evaluation is frequently the foundation of vascular diagnosis, in which symptoms direct treatment prior to diagnostic testing.
• Non-Invasive Vascular Laboratory: This crucial part of vascular diagnosis frequently outperforms invasive techniques. A duplex scan is essential for accurately assessing blood flow parameters and vascular structure.
• Specific Imaging Modalities:
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): An alternate technique for assessing blood vessels
• Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) is a supplemental modality used after open surgery and is primarily conducted prior to endovascular operations
• Computed Tomography (CT): A common and useful tool for describing a variety of vascular disorders is computed tomography (CT).

Vascular Surgical Technique Types

• Carotid Artery Surgery (Endarterectomy): This procedure increases blood flow to the brain and lowers the risk of stroke by surgically removing plaque accumulation in the carotid artery.
• Endovascular Aneurysm Repair: A minimally invasive technique that strengthens weak artery walls with stent grafts to reduce the chance of aneurysm rupture
• Thrombectomy: is the surgical excision of blood clots from veins or arteries to restore normal blood flow and avoid consequences such as pulmonary embolism or stroke.
• Peripheral Arterial Bypass: Restoring circulation and reducing peripheral arterial disease symptoms by rerouting blood flow around blocked arteries in the legs, frequently with the use of grafts.
• Treatment for Varicose Veins: Methods to remove varicose veins, such as sclerotherapy or laser therapy, which enhance circulation and lessen discomfort
• Treatment for Deep Vein Thrombosis: Deep vein clots can be surgically removed to reduce the risk of embolism and long-term consequences. Making a direct connection between an artery and a vein, known as an arteriovenous fistula, is frequently done to provide dialysis access for patients suffering from renal failure.

After Surgery Care

A notable change towards effective postoperative management in major vascular procedures has been marked by a decrease in intensive care unit admissions due to improvements in perioperative anesthetic and minimally invasive techniques such as endovascular repair. To guarantee the best possible recovery and results after vascular surgical procedures, the following four crucial postoperative care elements are uniform, regardless of the kind of vascular surgery:

• Management of hemodynamics
• Pain control
• Management of fluids
• Nutrition
