Who is a Cardiac Surgeon?
A cardiac surgeon is a medical specialist who performs surgical procedures to treat conditions affecting the heart and major blood vessels. They evaluate the patient's condition, review diagnostic findings and determine whether surgery may be appropriate based on the type and severity of the cardiac problem. Cardiac surgeons may perform procedures such as coronary artery bypass surgery, heart valve surgery and other cardiac and vascular operations, depending on the patient's individual requirements.

View ProfileConditions Our Cardiac Surgeons Treat at Sterling Hospitals, Vadodara
Cardiac surgeons at Sterling Hospitals, Vadodara, provide surgical evaluation and treatment for a range of conditions affecting the heart and major blood vessels. Treatment is planned according to the underlying condition, its severity, the patient's overall health and whether surgery is appropriate.
Heart Valve Disease
Heart valve disease occurs when one or more heart valves do not open or close properly, which can affect the normal flow of blood through the heart. Depending on the valve involved and the severity of the condition, treatment may involve valve repair or valve replacement.
Congenital Heart Conditions
Congenital heart conditions are structural abnormalities of the heart or major blood vessels that are present from birth. Some conditions may require surgical correction, depending on their type, severity and effect on heart function.
Aortic Diseases
Diseases affecting the aorta, the body's largest artery, may require specialised surgical evaluation. Depending on the condition and its severity, treatment may involve surgical repair or replacement of the affected section of the aorta.
Heart Failure Requiring Surgical Treatment
Some patients with advanced heart failure may require surgical intervention when medicines and other treatments are not sufficient to manage the condition. The appropriate surgical approach depends on the underlying cause and the patient's overall cardiac function.
Arrhythmias Requiring Surgical Management
Certain abnormal heart rhythms may require surgical treatment when other management options are unsuitable or unsuccessful. Surgical procedures may be considered as part of the treatment of selected rhythm disorders based on their underlying cause.
Cardiac Tumours
Cardiac tumours are abnormal growths that develop in or around the heart. When a tumour requires removal because of its size, location, symptoms or potential complications, cardiac surgery may be considered.
Infective Heart Conditions
Certain infections affecting the heart, including infections involving the heart valves, can cause significant damage and may require surgical treatment in selected cases. Surgery may be considered when there is severe valve damage, persistent infection or other complications.
Cardiac Surgical Procedures Performed at Sterling Hospitals, Vadodara
Our cardiothoracic surgical team performs a full spectrum of surgical interventions for complex heart conditions, including:
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)
Restores healthy blood flow to the heart muscle by rerouting blood around severely blocked coronary arteries using a vessel graft. The specific surgical technique depends on the number and location of the blockages.
Heart Valve Repair and Replacement
Restores proper cardiac function by repairing damaged valves or replacing them with biological or mechanical prostheses. Whenever feasible, surgeons repair the native valve to preserve natural heart function.
Aortic Surgery
Repairs or replaces diseased sections of the aorta to prevent severe complications from aneurysms or tissue tears. The surgical approach is tailored to the location and extent of the aortic condition.
Congenital Heart Surgery
Corrects structural heart abnormalities present from birth to improve overall cardiac performance and long-term health. Interventions are customized to the patient’s age, anatomy, and specific defect complexity.
Arrhythmia Surgery
Corrects severe abnormal heart rhythms through targeted surgical interventions when medication or catheter-based treatments are insufficient.
Cardiac Tumour Resection
Removes benign or malignant growths from within the heart chambers or surrounding tissue to restore normal cardiac function and blood flow.
Surgical Management of Severe Heart Infections
Repairs or replaces heart valves and tissue damaged by advanced infections, such as endocarditis, that do not respond to antibiotics alone.Where clinically appropriate, our surgeons utilise minimally invasive cardiac surgery techniques. By performing select valve and bypass procedures through smaller incisions, this approach helps reduce surgical trauma, minimise scarring, and support a faster post-operative recovery compared to traditional open-chest surgery.
When a Cardiologist May Recommend Surgical Evaluation
Not every heart condition requires surgery. Many cardiac issues are managed effectively with medications, lifestyle changes, or non-surgical procedures. However, a cardiac surgery consultation is typically recommended for patients who:
Have diagnostic test results (such as an angiogram or echocardiogram) indicating severe structural heart issues or blockages.
Have severe coronary artery disease that cannot be managed safely with medications or stenting alone.
Have significant heart valve disease, including severe narrowing (stenosis) or leakage (regurgitation).
Have an aortic aneurysm or arterial disease affecting the body’s main artery.
Require surgical correction for a congenital heart defect.
