Coromandel Cardiothoracic Surgery Practice at Apollo Hospitals Chennai India |
Coromandel Cardiothoracic Surgery Practice at Apollo Hospitals Chennai India"The Coromandel Cardiothoracic Surgery Practice is established by two Western trained (UK) and western Qualified (UK) Cardiothoracic Surgeons Dr.T. Sunder FRCS & Dr. Paul Ramesh Thangaraj FRCS, at Apollo hospitals,Chennai India. All commonly performed heart and lung surgeries offered at affordable cost, including high risk procedures.
Two western qualified cardiothoracic surgeons Dr. T. Sunder FRCS (Cardiothoracic) & Dr. Paul Ramesh Thangaraj FRCS (Cardiothoracic) have established the “Coromandel Cardiothoracic Surgery Practice” at Apollo Hospitals, Chennai, India in 2006.
Cardiothoracic Surgery is a specialized area of surgery to treat heart, lung and other chest diseases. By its very nature this requires close monitoring after major heart and lung operations. Traditionally, the team is headed by only one consultant and comprises of junior surgeons of varying experiences.
Dr. Paul Ramesh & Dr. Sunder are the first to join to form a group practice among cardiothoracic surgeons in India, a practice emulated from the West. Both the consultant surgeons scrub up and are present for all operations. Also, this practice ensures Consultant input to patient care at all times, even if one is away.
Dr. Paul Ramesh strongly believes that a multi-disciplinary approach is needed particularly in the treatment of advanced heart and lung disease. To that end he formed a “Centre for Advanced Heart & Lung Disease” at Apollo Hospitals, Chennai, India comprising of a cardiologist Dr. S. Shanmugasundaram, an intensivist Dr. N. Ramakrishnan and two surgeons–Dr. Paul Ramesh & Dr. T. Sunder.
Surgery for Heart Failure is recently emerging as a separate specialty. Patients with very weak hearts now have an option of evaluation and assessment by the team at the “Centre for Advanced Heart & Lung Disease” and appropriate management strategies are suggested after a joint discussions among the specialists. This may be adjustment of medications, life style modifications, high risk conventional heart surgery or even consideration for heart transplantation.
CPET Cardio Pulmonary Exercise Testing is done on a sophisticated treadmill which allows assessment of the patients’ heart, lung, circulatory system and exercise capacity and allows quantification of maximal oxygen utilization (VO2max). This in turn allows the specialists to assess response to treatment and decide on further course. These facilities are available at the Centre and form an important component of the assessment tools.
Treatment options like surgery for emphysema (Lung Volume Reduction Surgery) are also considered for patients with advanced lung disease.
