Expertise in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) One of Dr. Divakar Bhat’s core specialties is Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) — a lifesaving procedure in which a healthy artery or vein is grafted to bypass blocked coronary arteries, restoring proper blood flow to the heart. Traditionally, CABG has been performed through open-heart surgery. However, thanks to modern advancements at Aster RV Hospital, many patients can now benefit from minimally invasive CABG and robotic CABG, leading to: Smaller incisions
Faster healing
Reduced pain and complications
Shorter hospital stay Open-Heart Surgery Open-heart surgery is recommended when major structural or life-threatening heart conditions need correction. This includes:
- Repair or replacement of damaged heart valves
- Correction of congenital or structural heart defects
- Heart transplantation in end-stage heart failure
Thus, open-heart surgery is a complex procedure performed to repair blocked arteries, valves, or structural defects in the heart. The success of the surgery largely depends on the skill and precision of the cardiac surgeon. With advanced techniques and expertise, the surgeon here ensures safe operation, faster recovery, and improved long-term heart health. Robotic and minimally invasive cardiac surgery Aster RV Hospital is a leader in robot-assisted and minimally invasive heart surgery. Key procedures include:
- Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)
- Mitral Valve Repair or Replacement (MVR)
- Minimally Invasive Heart Surgery
Robotic surgical systems empower surgeons with unparalleled precision and control. With the expertise of Dr. Divakar Bhat, patients benefit from: Safer surgeries
Reduced scarring
Less blood loss
Faster return to daily activities Heart transplant A heart transplant is advised when the heart can no longer pump effectively despite maximum medication and interventions. Common causes include:
- Cardiomyopathy
- Coronary Artery Disease
- Valve abnormalities
- Congenital heart defects
Eligibility for transplant depends on multiple factors such as age, infection status, and the ability to maintain long-term medical follow-up. A heart transplant gives new life to patients with end-stage heart failure. The success of the procedure depends on matching a healthy donor heart and the skill of the transplant surgeon.
