CTVS Hospital in Greater Noida
For most heart-related conditions, treatment initially involves medication or other non-surgical approaches. However, when the condition does not respond adequately to medical management or requires surgery from the outset, cardiothoracic and vascular surgery becomes necessary.
The Yashoda Institute of Cardiac Sciences at Yashoda Medicity provides the full spectrum of cardiothoracic and vascular surgical care in Ghaziabad, delivered by a dedicated cardiac surgical team within a centre equipped with hybrid operating rooms, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support, and robotic surgical capabilities.
Conditions We Treat Surgically
The team at the CTVS hospital in Ghaziabad manages a wide range of conditions, including:
- Coronary Artery Disease Requiring Bypass Surgery
- Heart Valve Diseases: Stenosis and Regurgitation of Aortic, Mitral, Tricuspid, and Pulmonary Valves
- Aortic Aneurysms and Dissections
- Congenital Heart Diseases in Children and Adults
- Heart Failure Requiring Surgical Intervention or Transplant Evaluation
- Rheumatic Heart Disease
- Peripheral Artery Disease
- Thoracic Conditions Requiring Surgical Management
- Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy
- Cardiac Tumours
When to Consult a Cardiothoracic Surgeon in Ghaziabad
A cardiac surgical consultation does not mean surgery has already been decided.
You should seek a cardiothoracic surgical consultation if:
- Coronary angiography has identified multi-vessel disease or left main coronary artery disease that is better managed with bypass surgery than stenting.
- A heart valve has been assessed as requiring replacement or repair and the cardiologist has recommended surgical evaluation.
- An aortic aneurysm has been identified and its size or growth rate warrants intervention.
- A congenital heart defect in a child or adult requires surgical correction.
- Heart failure has progressed to a stage where surgical options, including ventricular assist devices or transplant evaluation, are being considered.
- A structural heart disease intervention is being planned and the choice between surgical and transcatheter approaches needs to be assessed.
- A second opinion on a cardiac surgical recommendation is being sought.

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Coronary artery bypass grafting remains the most effective long-term treatment for multi-vessel coronary artery disease and left main coronary artery disease. At Yashoda Medicity, a leading CABG surgery hospital in Ghaziabad, beating-heart bypass surgery is performed in selected cases. This allows the procedure to be completed without placing the heart on cardiopulmonary bypass, reducing operative risk in higher-risk patients and avoiding the cognitive and renal effects associated with bypass in some individuals.
Aortic Surgery
Aortic aneurysms and aortic dissections are serious conditions that can be life-threatening if not treated promptly. The hybrid operating room allows surgeons to combine traditional surgery with minimally invasive catheter-based techniques for complex aortic cases. This enables the medical team to perform both parts of the treatment in the same operating room without needing to move the patient, improving efficiency and coordination during the procedure.
Valve Replacement and Repair
At the CTVS hospital in Ghaziabad, valve repair or replacement may be required when the heart valves become too narrow to allow adequate blood flow or too leaky to maintain effective forward flow. Our approach is to prefer repair over replacement, in which the patient’s own valve tissues are preserved. Where replacement is necessary, the choice between mechanical and biological prostheses is made based on patient age, lifestyle, and anticoagulation suitability. Minimally invasive valve surgery is also a viable option.
Structural Heart Disease Interventions
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation and Replacement allows severely diseased aortic valves to be replaced through a catheter without open-heart surgery. It is performed in the hybrid operating room with surgical backup and is the preferred approach for patients with severe aortic stenosis who carry a high surgical risk due to age or comorbidities. MitraClip repair of the mitral valve addresses significant mitral regurgitation in patients who are not suitable for conventional surgical repair.
Heart Failure Surgery and Transplant
For advanced heart failure where medical therapy and device treatment have been exhausted, surgical options including ventricular assist device implantation and cardiac transplant evaluation are available. Ventricular assist devices provide mechanical circulatory support for patients whose heart can no longer maintain adequate output, either as a bridge to transplant or, in selected patients, as destination therapy.
Vascular Surgery
Conditions affecting the carotid arteries, renal arteries, and lower limb vessels, including peripheral artery disease and abdominal aortic aneurysms, may require vascular surgery. These procedures help restore blood flow, prevent complications, and improve long-term vascular health.
State-of-the-Art Cardiothoracic Surgical Facilities
Hybrid Operating Room
At the CTVS hospital in Ghaziabad, the hybrid operating room combines a fully equipped cardiac surgical theatre with advanced fluoroscopic and imaging capability. It is used for transcatheter aortic valve implantation and replacement, complex aortic procedures, and structural heart disease interventions where surgical backup during a catheter-based procedure is clinically required.
Robotic-Assisted Cardiac Surgery Platform
Robotic-assisted cardiac surgery provides better visualisation and instrument precision for minimally invasive procedures, especially for conditions such as mitral valve repair, atrial septal defect closure, and coronary artery bypass in selected cases. The system allows procedures to be performed through small ports rather than a full sternotomy, reducing chest wall trauma, operative blood loss, and recovery time. For patients who are candidates for robotic cardiac surgery, the difference in recovery compared to conventional open surgery is significant.
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO)
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation provides temporary mechanical heart and lung support for patients in severe cardiogenic shock, post-cardiac arrest, or acute cardiorespiratory failure. It is available at Yashoda Medicity as a bridge to recovery, a bridge to a definitive surgical procedure, or a bridge to transplant evaluation. Having this capability on-site means critically ill cardiac patients can be stabilised locally without requiring transfer to another facility.
Advanced Cardiac Imaging
Three-dimensional and four-dimensional echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, and computed tomography coronary angiography provide detailed pre-operative anatomical assessment for surgical planning. Three-dimensional echocardiography is particularly valuable for valve surgery planning, providing the surgical team with a precise map of valve anatomy before the procedure begins.
Cardiac Intensive Care Unit
The cardiac intensive care unit at the CTVS hospital in Ghaziabad provides round-the-clock monitoring and specialist critical care management for post-operative cardiac surgery patients. Continuous haemodynamic monitoring, mechanical ventilation, temporary pacing, and intra-aortic balloon pump support are available within the unit, which is managed collaboratively by intensivists and cardiac surgeons throughout the post-operative period.
Cardiac Rehabilitation
Structured cardiac rehabilitation begins during hospital admission and continues after discharge. It includes supervised exercise, dietary guidance, medication management, and psychological support. For patients recovering from major cardiac surgery, rehabilitation directly influences functional recovery, return to activity, and long-term cardiovascular risk reduction.
Patient Journey at the Heart Surgery Hospital in Ghaziabad
- Consultation and Surgical Assessment: The process begins with a consultation with a cardiac surgeon, who reviews imaging studies, angiography findings, and the patient’s overall cardiac function.
- Multidisciplinary Heart Team Review: Once all investigations have been reviewed, a multidisciplinary team of specialists evaluates the case to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
- Pre-operative Optimisation: Before surgery, specific measures are taken to optimise the patient’s medical condition and reduce procedural risk.
- Surgery: The procedure is performed according to the agreed plan. Post-operative care begins immediately in the cardiac intensive care unit.
- Recovery and Rehabilitation: Mobilisation begins as early as clinically appropriate. Cardiac rehabilitation is initiated during the hospital stay and continues as a structured outpatient programme after discharge.
- Long-Term Follow-Up: Long-term follow-up includes regular clinical reviews, echocardiography, and imaging studies to monitor cardiac function and recovery.
