GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY IN INDIA

Gastroenterology, also known as gastrology, is a specialized medicinal field, concerned with the human digestive system. This branch focuses on the study, functioning and disorders affecting the stomach, esophagus, intestines, and many associated organs including the pancreas, liver, and gallbladder. It is perhaps considered one of the youngest disciplines among the subspecialties of internal medicine. As this branch is too broad, many doctors specialize in treating disorders of the digestive system.

Gastroesophegal reflux disease (GeRD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), peptic ulcer disease, GI cancer, pancreatic cancer, cirrhosis, and hepatitis are the frequent disorders that come under the branch of gastroenterology.

Cardiac Bypass Surgery - Bypass to Health

A Cardiac bypass surgery is an operation to restore the flow of blood through the arteries that supply blood to the heart, when a blockage or partial blockage occurs in these arteries.It is a surgery in which a healthy blood vessel segment is used to take a different path around a blocked artery. It is most commonly performed to bypass a blocked coronary artery that supplies blood to the heart but may be done in other body locations.
The arteries that supply the heart muscle with oxygen and nutrients are known as the coronary arteries. The word "coronary" means a crown, and is the name given to these arteries that circle the heart like a crown. The narrowing of the arteries of the heart is known as coronary artery disease, which is the most common form of heart disease.

HEART FAILURE - FORTIS HEALTHCARE

HEART FAILURE

Heart failure refers to the heart failing to pump efficiently. There are many diseases that cause this including cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, viral infections, alcohol, and diseases affecting the valves of the heart.

When the heart is inefficient a number of symptoms occur depending on the cause and severity. of the condition.

The main symptoms are tiredness, breathlessness on exertion or lying flat, and ankle swelling. Doctors often refer to oedema, which means fluid retention usually in feet or lungs as a result of the heart not pumping efficiently.

CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFT SURGERY

CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFT SURGERY

Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) involves sewing one end an artery or vein above a blocked coronary artery and the other end below the blockage, thereby allowing blood an alternative means to get to the heart. The arteries or veins used for the bypass (which are known as "grafts") are usually obtained from the leg or the chest wall.

Bypass surgery may not be possible if the coronary artery is heavily calcified or if the disease is very widespread. CABG can be done with or without connecting the patient to heart-lung machine, depending on the kind of blockages and surgeon's decision. Several new surgical approaches are being developed, which can potentially reduce the discomfort and complications associated with traditional bypass surgery.

These are collectively referred to as being "minimally invasive." In general, these approaches focus on performing bypass surgery though a very small chest incision and performing bypass surgery while the heart is still beating (ie, without the need for a heart/lung bypass machine).

Heart Bypass Surgery - Overview

Heart bypass surgery is performed to route blood flow around clogged arteries supplying the heart.

Coronary arteries are the small blood vessels that supply the heart muscle with oxygen and nutrients. Fat and cholesterol can build up inside these small arteries. The arteries can gradually become clogged. This buildup of fat and cholesterol plaque is called atherosclerosis.

When one or more of the coronary arteries becomes partially or totally blocked, the heart does not get enough blood. This is called ischemic heart disease or coronary artery disease (CAD). It can cause chest pain (angina).

Sometimes CAD does not cause pain until the blood supply to the heart becomes critically low, and the muscle begins to die. The first symptom of CAD in this case may be a potentially deadly heart attack. Symptomless CAD is especially common in diabetics.

Heart bypass surgery creates a detour or "bypass" around the blocked part of a coronary artery to restore the blood supply to the heart muscle. The surgery is commonly called Coronary Artery Bypass Graft, or CABG (pronounced "cabbage").

You will receive anesthesia and be completely free from pain. Then the heart surgeon makes a surgical cut in the middle of the chest and separates the breastbone.

Through this cut, the surgeon can see the heart and aorta (the main blood vessel leading from the heart to the rest of the body). After surgery, the breastbone will be rejoined with wire and the opening will be sewn closed.

Overview of Coronary Artery Disease

Your heart is the hardest working muscle you have.Its job is to keep blood circulating in and out of your lungs and through all the other organs and tissues in your body.Like any muscle, your heart needs plenty of oxygen-rich blood to stay healthy and keep functioning. The blood vessels that surround your heart are called Coronary arteries. When fatty deposits called plaque develop in the lining of these arteries , several things can happen:
1.The lining of the artery becomes thicker and rougher.
2.Plaque build up makes it harder for blood to flow through the artery.
3.The heart has to work harder to pump blood.
4.The plaque may rupture, causing a blood clot completely block the artery; this stops the supply of blood to the heart muscle.
5.If one or more arteries become blocked, heart tissue doesn't get the blood supply it needs to function.The result can range from mild chest pain to severe heart attack.
