Heart surgery is a moment a family never forgets. Behind the calm of the operating theatre is a team that has rehearsed for exactly this — and at SAL Hospital, Ahmedabad, our Department of Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgery (CVTS) brings together cardiac surgeons, cardiac anaesthetists, perfusionists and intensive-care specialists who operate as a single, practised unit.
From bypass surgery (CABG) and heart valve surgery to major aortic, thoracic and vascular procedures, our surgical team handles the full range of cardiac and vascular conditions — supported by a dedicated cardiac ICU that runs 24×7.
Some heart problems cannot be solved through a catheter. A heavily blocked set of coronary arteries, a badly damaged valve, an enlarging aortic aneurysm — these need a surgeon. The reassurance a patient deserves at that point is a team that does these operations regularly and manages the recovery just as carefully as the surgery itself.
As an established centre for cardiac surgery in Ahmedabad, SAL offers surgery that is planned jointly with our cardiologists. That heart-team approach — surgeon and cardiologist deciding together — is now the international standard, because the right answer for a complex heart is rarely one specialty acting alone.
For advanced coronary artery disease, CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting) remains one of the most durable, well-proven operations in all of medicine — rerouting blood around blocked arteries to restore a reliable supply to the heart. For damaged or leaking valves, our surgeons perform both valve repair and valve replacement, always preferring to preserve your own valve where it is safely possible.
The CVTS team at SAL performs the full spectrum of cardiac, thoracic and vascular surgery — making us a comprehensive choice for heart surgery in Ahmedabad.
The safest cardiac surgery happens where the surgeon, the cardiologist, the anaesthetist and the ICU team all know each other’s work. At SAL, they are not separate silos passing a patient along — they plan together and recover the patient together.
That continuity is what protects you in the vulnerable hours after surgery, when careful monitoring and rapid decisions matter as much as the operation itself.
An operation is only half the journey. What happens in the days and weeks afterwards — pain control, early mobilisation, cardiac rehabilitation, medication and honest lifestyle guidance — determines how fully you return to the life you had. Our team stays with you through all of it, not just the hours in theatre.
We also know that families carry this journey too. We take the time to explain what the surgery involves, what the recovery will realistically look like, and what to watch for once you are home — because an informed family is part of a safe recovery.
SAL is a referral centre across the region for:
Angioplasty (a stent) reopens a blocked artery from the inside using a catheter, while bypass surgery (CABG) reroutes blood around the blockages using grafts. Which is right depends on the number, location and complexity of the blockages — our heart team decides this together with you.
Often, yes. Wherever it is safe and durable to do so, our surgeons prefer to repair your own valve rather than replace it. Whether repair is possible depends on the valve and the nature of the damage.
Most patients are up and walking within a few days and go home within about a week, with a fuller recovery over six to twelve weeks. Cardiac rehabilitation and following your medication plan make a real difference to how well you recover.
Yes, where it is clinically appropriate for the patient and the condition. Minimally invasive approaches can mean smaller incisions, less pain and a quicker recovery — but the priority is always the safest approach for your specific case.
You can book directly with our CVTS department, or your cardiologist can refer you. Bring any angiography, echo or CT reports you have — they help our surgeons give you a clear, honest opinion faster.
