Areas of Expertise and Treatments

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)

CABG is a cardiac surgical procedure used to improve blood flow to the heart when coronary arteries become significantly narrowed or blocked. Dr. Mathew Maurish Thomas has clinical experience in CABG procedures and associated perioperative care.

Heart Valve Replacement Surgery

Valve replacement surgery may be considered when a heart valve is severely narrowed or damaged and cannot function effectively. Treatment planning depends on the affected valve, symptoms and overall cardiac condition.

Heart Valve Repair Surgery

Heart valve repair aims to restore the function of a damaged valve while preserving the patient's natural valve whenever clinically appropriate.

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS)

Minimally invasive cardiac surgery uses smaller surgical approaches for selected cardiac procedures. Suitability depends on the patient's diagnosis, anatomy and overall health condition.

Aortic Surgery

Aortic surgery is performed for selected diseases affecting the aorta, including conditions that may require repair or replacement of a diseased segment.

Bentall Procedure

The Bentall procedure is a complex cardiac operation involving replacement of the aortic root and aortic valve with reconstruction of the coronary artery connections when clinically required.

Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) Repair

ASD repair is performed to close an abnormal opening between the upper chambers of the heart when intervention is considered appropriate following cardiac evaluation.

Thoracic Surgery

Thoracic surgery includes surgical management of selected conditions involving structures within the chest. Dr. Mathew's documented areas of experience include thoracic procedures such as rib fixation and decortication.

Rib Fixation

Rib fixation is a surgical procedure that may be used for selected patients with significant rib fractures or unstable chest wall injuries.

Decortication

Decortication is a thoracic surgical procedure used in selected conditions where restrictive tissue around the lung needs to be removed to improve lung expansion.

ECMO Support and Management

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) provides temporary advanced heart or lung support for critically ill patients in carefully selected clinical situations. Dr. Mathew has documented experience with ECMO initiation and cardiac post-operative management.

Cardiac Transplant Care

Cardiac transplant care involves multidisciplinary evaluation, perioperative management and post-operative monitoring of patients undergoing heart transplantation.
