Areas of Expertise and Treatments

Total Arterial Coronary Revascularisation

Total arterial coronary revascularisation uses arterial grafts to restore blood supply to areas of the heart affected by significant coronary artery disease. It is one of Dr. Shantesh Durgesh Kaushik's documented areas of special interest.

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)

Coronary artery bypass grafting is performed to improve blood flow to the heart when important coronary arteries become significantly narrowed or blocked. Dr. Kaushik has extensive experience in coronary revascularisation and bypass surgery.

Minimally Invasive Valve Surgery

Minimally invasive valve surgery uses smaller surgical approaches for selected patients requiring repair or replacement of diseased heart valves.

Mitral Valve Surgery

Mitral valve surgery includes repair or replacement procedures for patients with significant mitral valve narrowing, leakage or structural abnormalities.

Heart Valve Replacement Surgery

Heart valve replacement is considered when a severely diseased valve cannot function effectively and replacement is clinically appropriate based on the patient's cardiac evaluation.

Thoracic Surgery

Thoracic surgery involves surgical management of selected conditions affecting structures within the chest, including diseases involving the lungs and thoracic cavity.

Lung Surgery

Lung surgery may be required for selected pulmonary conditions depending on the diagnosis, location of disease, lung function and the patient's overall clinical condition.

Vascular Surgery

Vascular surgery involves surgical management of conditions affecting arteries and veins outside the heart, with treatment selected according to the location and severity of vascular disease.

Venous Surgery

Venous surgery includes procedures used to manage selected disorders affecting the veins when conservative or non-surgical management is insufficient.

Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) Closure

ASD closure is used to correct an abnormal opening between the upper chambers of the heart when intervention is clinically indicated following specialist cardiac assessment.

Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) Closure

VSD closure treats an abnormal opening between the lower chambers of the heart when the defect requires intervention based on its size, symptoms and effect on cardiac function.

Pacemaker Implantation

Pacemaker implantation is used in selected patients with clinically significant abnormalities of the heart's electrical rhythm to help maintain an appropriate heart rate.
