Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery
Director – Cardio Thoracic Vascular Surgery | MICS & Robotic Cardiac Surgery18 Years of Experience in Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgery
Fortis Hospital
Bangalore
Dr. Sudarshan G T is an experienced Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgeon with a special focus on minimally invasive and robotic cardiac surgery. He is associated with Fortis Hospitals in Bengaluru and currently holds a senior leadership role in Cardio Thoracic Vascular Surgery and the hospital's MICS and Robotic Cardiac Surgery programme.
His major areas of clinical expertise include robotic cardiac surgery, minimally invasive cardiac surgery, coronary artery bypass grafting, off-pump coronary surgery, total arterial revascularisation, valve repair and replacement, complex aortic surgery and video-assisted thoracic surgery.
Dr. Sudarshan has undergone advanced cardiothoracic surgical training in India and the United Kingdom. He completed FRCS in Cardiothoracic Surgery from the Royal College of Surgeons of England and undertook a Fellowship in Advanced Adult Cardiac Surgery covering minimally invasive cardiac surgery, aortic surgery and VATS at Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital in the UK.
His clinical interests also include surgery for atrial fibrillation, heart failure surgery and cardiac transplantation. He has been involved in the development and advancement of minimally invasive and robotic cardiac surgery techniques, including robot-assisted coronary bypass and robotic valve procedures.
Alongside his clinical practice, Dr. Sudarshan has an interest in academic cardiothoracic surgery and has contributed to national and international scientific publications and professional surgical training.
Robotic cardiac surgery uses advanced robotic technology to assist surgeons in performing selected heart procedures through small incisions. Dr. Sudarshan G T has focused extensively on robotic and minimally invasive cardiac surgical techniques.
Minimally invasive cardiac surgery enables selected cardiac operations to be performed through smaller surgical access instead of a conventional full sternotomy. Dr. Sudarshan has advanced training and extensive clinical experience in MICS procedures.
Robot-assisted coronary bypass surgery combines robotic techniques with minimally invasive coronary revascularisation in appropriately selected patients requiring treatment for significant coronary artery disease.
CABG is performed to improve blood flow to the heart when important coronary arteries are significantly narrowed or blocked. Dr. Sudarshan's documented interests include off-pump coronary surgery and total arterial revascularisation.
Off-pump coronary bypass surgery is performed on the beating heart without routinely using a heart-lung machine and may be suitable for selected patients requiring coronary revascularisation.
Total arterial revascularisation uses arterial grafts to restore coronary blood supply and is one of Dr. Sudarshan's documented areas of interest in advanced coronary surgery.
Minimally Invasive Direct Coronary Artery Bypass is a specialised coronary bypass technique that can be performed through a smaller chest incision in selected patients.
Robotic mitral valve surgery uses robotic assistance for selected mitral valve repair or replacement procedures while avoiding a traditional full sternotomy where clinically appropriate.
Mitral valve repair aims to restore the function of a patient's natural mitral valve in selected cases of valve leakage or structural disease.
Mitral valve replacement may be recommended when significant valve disease cannot be adequately managed through repair and replacement becomes clinically necessary.
Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement offers a smaller surgical approach for selected patients who require surgical replacement of a severely diseased aortic valve.
Aortic aneurysm surgery involves repair or replacement of an abnormally enlarged portion of the aorta when intervention is required to reduce the risk of serious complications.
Aortic dissection surgery is performed for selected tears within the wall of the aorta and can require complex reconstruction or replacement of the affected aortic segment.
Robotic atrial septal defect closure is a minimally invasive surgical approach used in appropriately selected patients to close an abnormal communication between the upper chambers of the heart.
Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery uses a thoracoscopic approach and smaller incisions for selected surgical conditions involving the lungs and other structures within the chest.
Surgical treatment for atrial fibrillation may be considered in selected patients, including cases where rhythm-related procedures are performed alongside other cardiac surgery.
Advanced surgical management of heart failure may involve carefully selected procedures based on the cause and severity of cardiac dysfunction and the patient's overall clinical condition.
Cardiac transplantation is an advanced treatment option for carefully selected patients with severe end-stage heart failure when other appropriate therapies are insufficient.
