Areas of Expertise and Treatments
Coronary artery bypass grafting is performed to improve blood flow to the heart when significant coronary artery narrowing or blockage is present. Dr. Vishal Nandkishor Pingle has experience in complex coronary bypass surgery and advanced coronary revascularisation.
Complex coronary bypass surgery may be required in patients with extensive coronary artery disease, previous cardiac procedures or challenging coronary anatomy requiring specialised surgical planning.
Minimally invasive cardiac surgery uses smaller surgical approaches for selected heart procedures and may reduce the extent of surgical access compared with conventional open-heart surgery.
Robotic cardiac surgery uses advanced robotic technology to assist selected cardiac procedures through smaller incisions. Dr. Pingle has undergone specialised international training in robotic cardiac surgery.
Mitral valve repair aims to preserve and restore the patient's natural mitral valve when the valve anatomy and disease pattern are suitable for surgical reconstruction.
Mitral valve replacement may be required when severe mitral valve disease cannot be effectively treated with repair and valve replacement is considered clinically appropriate.
Aortic valve repair is performed in selected patients to reconstruct and preserve the native aortic valve rather than replacing it when clinically possible.
Aortic valve replacement is used to treat severe aortic valve narrowing or leakage when repair is not suitable and valve replacement is required.
Complex aortic surgery includes surgical management of conditions affecting the aortic root, ascending aorta and other parts of the aorta that may require advanced repair or replacement techniques.
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation is an advanced treatment option for selected patients with severe aortic valve stenosis following multidisciplinary cardiac assessment.
Heart transplantation may be considered for carefully selected patients with severe end-stage heart failure when conventional medical and surgical treatments are no longer sufficient.
Lung transplantation is an advanced treatment option for selected patients with severe irreversible lung disease who meet appropriate transplant criteria.
Combined heart-lung transplantation may be considered in carefully selected patients with severe irreversible disease affecting both the heart and lungs.
Ventricular assist devices provide mechanical circulatory support for selected patients with advanced heart failure and may be used as a bridge to transplantation or as part of long-term treatment.
Thoracic surgery involves surgical management of selected conditions affecting structures within the chest, including the lungs and other thoracic organs.
