When the heart needs surgery, expertise matters most
Some heart conditions cannot be treated through a catheter — they need the hands of an experienced cardiac surgeon. The Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgery (CVTS) Centre of Excellence at SAL Hospital, Ahmedabad provides the full range of heart and chest surgery, from routine bypass to complex valve and aortic procedures.
What makes this a true centre of excellence is the partnership between surgery and cardiology. Complex cases are planned jointly by our cardiac surgeons and cardiologists — the international gold standard, which means every patient gets the right treatment, whether that is a stent or a bypass.
Backed by modern cardiac operation theatres and a dedicated cardiac ICU, our surgical team performs even complex heart operations with the safety that comes from experience and high volumes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cardiology treats heart disease without surgery — through catheter-based techniques like angioplasty and stenting. CVTS (Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgery) performs open and surgical procedures such as bypass, valve replacement and aortic surgery. The two teams work closely together to decide the right approach for each patient.
Bypass surgery restores blood flow to the heart by using a healthy blood vessel to bypass a blocked coronary artery. It is one of the commonest and most effective heart operations, particularly for multiple or complex blockages.
It depends on the pattern and severity of disease. Some blockages are best treated with a stent, others with bypass surgery; some valves can be treated through a catheter, others need surgical repair or replacement. Our heart team decides this together, in the patient’s best interest.
Modern cardiac surgery is very safe, especially in an experienced, high-volume centre with a dedicated cardiac ICU. Our surgeons will discuss the specific risks and benefits for your situation honestly.
Absolutely — and we encourage it. Bring your angiography, echo or CT reports and our heart team will give you an honest assessment of whether surgery is the best option for you.
