Procedures
Here are the key procedures performed by leading specialists in Cardiology.
Ablation therapy is a highly specialised, minimally invasive cardiac procedure designed to correct abnormal heart rhythms, known as arrhythmias. These irregularities occur when the heart's electrical system malfunctions, causing the heart to beat too fast, too slow, or erratically. During ablation, experienced electrophysiologists precisely identify and target the small areas of heart tissue responsible for these faulty electrical signals. Using advanced catheter-based techniques, energy (such as radiofrequency heat, extreme cold, or pulsed fields) is delivered to create tiny scars. These scars effectively block the abnormal electrical pathways, allowing the heart's natural rhythm to be restored. This procedure is a crucial treatment option for international patients whose arrhythmias are not adequately controlled by medication or who seek a more definitive, long-term solution. VRH Healthcare acts as your dedicated partner, connecting you with India's leading cardiac centres and world-class electrophysiologists renowned for their expertise in performing intricate ablation procedures with high precision and care.
Coronary Angioplasty and Stenting is a minimally invasive procedure performed by interventional cardiologists to open blocked or narrowed coronary arteries. These blockages, often caused by plaque build-up (atherosclerosis), restrict blood flow to the heart muscle, leading to chest pain (angina) or heart attack. In India, this advanced catheter-based technique involves inserting a balloon-tipped catheter to widen the artery, followed by placing a small mesh tube called a stent to keep it open, restoring vital blood supply and improving cardiac function.
CABG surgery in India is a widely chosen treatment for patients with severe coronary artery disease due to experienced cardiac surgeons, advanced open-heart surgery techniques, and significantly lower treatment costs compared to Western countries. Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery (CABG), commonly known as bypass surgery, is performed to restore adequate blood flow to the heart muscle when one or more coronary arteries become severely narrowed or blocked by plaque. During the procedure, a healthy blood vessel—usually taken from the chest or leg—is grafted to bypass the blocked artery, creating a new pathway for blood to reach the heart. CABG surgery helps relieve angina, improve heart function, reduce the risk of heart attack, and enhance long-term survival. In India, CABG is performed using on-pump, off-pump (beating heart), and minimally invasive techniques following international cardiac care standards. VRH Healthcare supports international patients by facilitating expert opinions, hospital selection, treatment planning, cost estimates, and post-surgery follow-up care.
Heart valve surgery in India is performed to repair or replace damaged heart valves that disrupt normal blood flow within the heart. Valve disease may cause narrowing (stenosis) or leakage (regurgitation), leading to symptoms such as breathlessness, fatigue, chest discomfort, or heart failure if left untreated. Leading cardiac centres in India offer advanced surgical and minimally invasive techniques, including valve repair, mechanical or biological valve replacement, and transcatheter procedures like TAVI/TAVR. International patients often choose India for experienced cardiac surgeons, modern infrastructure, and significantly lower treatment costs compared to many Western countries. VRH Healthcare facilitates access to accredited heart hospitals and personalised treatment planning based on individual clinical evaluation.
ICD placement in India involves implanting an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD), a small battery-powered device placed under the skin of the chest to monitor and correct dangerous heart rhythm abnormalities. The ICD continuously tracks heart activity and automatically delivers electrical therapy if life-threatening arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation are detected, helping prevent sudden cardiac arrest. ICD therapy is recommended for patients with severe heart failure, prior cardiac arrest, inherited rhythm disorders, or significantly reduced ejection fraction. India offers advanced electrophysiology labs, experienced cardiac specialists, and modern MRI-compatible ICD devices. VRH Healthcare connects international patients with leading cardiac centres for safe, guideline-based ICD implantation.
Pacemaker implantation in India is a cardiology procedure used to treat slow or irregular heart rhythms, medically known as bradycardia or certain types of arrhythmia. A pacemaker is a small battery-powered electronic device placed under the skin, usually near the collarbone, with thin insulated wires (leads) that connect the device to the heart chambers. The pacemaker continuously monitors heart rhythm and delivers small electrical impulses when the heart beats too slowly or irregularly. These signals stimulate the heart muscle to maintain a safe and consistent heart rate. Pacemaker therapy is commonly recommended for conditions such as sinus node dysfunction, heart block, and other electrical conduction disorders of the heart. Diagnosis and treatment planning typically involve electrocardiograms (ECG), Holter monitoring, echocardiography, and sometimes electrophysiology studies to evaluate the heart's electrical system. Based on these tests, cardiologists determine the appropriate device type, which may include single-chamber pacemakers, dual-chamber pacemakers, biventricular pacemakers used in cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT), or modern leadless pacemakers. India has become a preferred destination for international patients seeking pacemaker implantation due to experienced cardiac electrophysiologists, advanced cardiac centres, and significantly lower treatment costs compared with the United States, United Kingdom, and many European countries. VRH Healthcare is not a hospital. We act as an independent medical facilitator that helps international patients obtain expert cardiology opinions, compare accredited hospitals and cardiac specialists, review medical reports, and receive transparent pacemaker implantation cost guidance before travelling to India.
Surgical Ventricular Resection (SVR), often referred to as ventricular restoration or the Dor procedure, is a highly specialised open-heart surgery designed to improve the function of a severely weakened heart. It targets patients with advanced heart failure, typically following a major heart attack that has caused significant scarring and enlargement of the left ventricle. The procedure involves carefully removing or reshaping the non-functional, scarred areas of the heart muscle. By reducing the overall size of the ventricle and restoring a more efficient shape, SVR aims to enhance the heart's pumping ability, alleviate debilitating symptoms like breathlessness and fatigue, and ultimately improve the patient's quality of life. VRH Healthcare helps you navigate the options for this complex procedure in India.
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI), also known as Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), is a minimally invasive procedure to replace a diseased aortic valve. It is primarily offered to patients with severe aortic stenosis who are considered high-risk for traditional open-heart surgery. Instead of a large incision, a new artificial valve is delivered to the heart via a catheter, typically inserted through an artery in the leg. This advanced cardiology procedure aims to restore proper blood flow from the heart, significantly improving symptoms and quality of life for suitable candidates.
Thrombolytic therapy, commonly known as clot-busting treatment, is a life-saving emergency procedure used to dissolve blood clots that block critical arteries. It is primarily used in acute conditions such as heart attack (acute myocardial infarction) and ischemic stroke, where rapid restoration of blood flow is essential to prevent permanent organ damage. This therapy uses specialised medications to break down clots and restore circulation to the heart or brain. In India, advanced cardiac and stroke centres follow strict emergency protocols for rapid and effective treatment. For international patients, initial emergency care is typically provided locally, after which VRH Healthcare supports advanced treatment, recovery, and follow-up care in India.
A Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) is a common congenital heart condition where there is a hole in the wall (septum) separating the heart's lower chambers (ventricles). This allows oxygen-rich blood to mix with oxygen-poor blood, increasing pressure in the lungs and making the heart work harder. Treatment aims to close this defect, restoring normal blood flow and preventing complications. In India, VSD treatment involves advanced diagnostic evaluation and may include medical management, catheter-based device closure, or surgical repair, tailored to the patient's age, VSD size, and overall health.
