Cardiac Sciences

CABG is a surgical procedure used to treat coronary artery disease. It involves bypassing blocked or narrowed coronary arteries by grafting healthy blood vessels from other parts of the body. This restores blood flow to the heart muscle, alleviating chest pain (angina) and reducing the risk of heart attacks.

Peripheral angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to open blocked or narrowed arteries outside the heart, typically in the limbs or organs. It involves inserting a balloon-tipped catheter into the artery and inflating it to widen the vessel. Often, a stent is placed to maintain the artery's openness and improve blood flow.

Valve replacement surgery is performed to replace a diseased or damaged heart valve with either a mechanical or biological valve. This procedure restores normal blood flow through the heart, improving heart function and alleviating symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue.

Vascular bypass surgery creates new pathways for blood flow around blocked or narrowed arteries using grafts made from synthetic materials or veins taken from the patient's body. It restores adequate blood supply to organs and tissues affected by severe arterial disease, improving circulation and reducing symptoms like pain and tissue damage.

Radiation therapy in abdominal cancer focuses on tumors within the abdominal cavity. It aims to reduce tumor size, alleviate symptoms such as pain or discomfort, and improve overall survival rates. Precise radiation techniques are employed to target cancerous cells while sparing healthy tissues and organs critical for digestive function.

Blood cancer refers to malignancies affecting the blood, bone marrow, and lymphatic system, including leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. Treatment options vary and may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and stem cell transplantation, tailored to the specific type and stage of cancer to achieve remission and improve survival rates.
