The Cardiac Surgery department at SN Krishna Hospital, Ujjain, performs open-heart procedures and minimally invasive cardiac operations for patients who need surgical intervention beyond what medicines can achieve. Working alongside the Cardiology team, our surgeon evaluates every case in a structured pre-operative multidisciplinary meeting to confirm that surgery is the right path.

From coronary bypass grafting to valve repair and replacement, procedures are performed in a dedicated cardiac operation theatre equipped for on-pump and off-pump techniques. Post-operative care continues in the cardiac ICU until the patient is stable for step-down.

Conditions we treat

Triple Vessel Coronary Artery Disease

Severe blockage in three coronary arteries usually requiring bypass rather than stenting.

Severe Aortic Stenosis

Critical narrowing of the aortic valve restricting blood flow out of the left ventricle.

Mitral Regurgitation

Leaking mitral valve allowing blood to flow backward into the left atrium during each heartbeat.

Aortic Aneurysm

Abnormal dilation of the aorta that carries risk of rupture if left untreated.

Treatments & procedures

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)

Bypass surgery using arterial or venous grafts to restore blood flow around blocked coronary arteries.

Valve Repair & Replacement

Surgical correction or replacement of diseased mitral, aortic, or tricuspid valves with mechanical or tissue prostheses.

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery

Small-incision techniques that reduce recovery time and blood loss for suitable valve and bypass cases.

Aortic Surgery

Repair of thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections under cardiopulmonary bypass.

How we treat our patients

Surgical planning starts with coronary angiography, echo, and risk stratification. The operating team follows established safety checklists throughout each procedure. Patients receive intensive monitoring in the cardiac ICU after surgery, followed by a structured rehabilitation and medication review before discharge. A follow-up appointment is scheduled within two weeks of leaving the hospital.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know whether I need surgery or a stent?

Your cardiologist will review your angiography results and discuss both options. The final recommendation depends on the number of vessels blocked, heart function, and overall health.

How long is the hospital stay after open-heart surgery?

Most patients spend two to three days in the cardiac ICU and a further four to five days in the ward before discharge, totalling about seven to eight days.

What should I bring for a cardiac surgery admission?

Bring all investigation reports, a list of current medications, government ID, insurance documents, and comfortable loose clothing for after the operation.

Does insurance cover cardiac surgery here?

Many procedures are covered under Ayushman Bharat and private insurance plans. Pre-authorisation is typically completed by our billing team before the operation date.

When will I be seen for a follow-up after discharge?

A follow-up appointment is fixed at discharge, usually within ten to fourteen days, to review the wound, blood tests, and medication.
