THORACIC SURGERY

The Department is headed by Dr. Ghulam Sarwar (MBBS, FCPS, FRCS- General Surgery, FRCS- Cardiothoracic Surgery). He has attended many workshops and seminars related to the specialty. Under his supervision experienced and qualified team works efficiently for patient care.

During the past year, a variety of cardiac procedures have been performed successfully. These include coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), pericardiectomy, aortic and mitral valve replacements, double valve replacement and ASD closure. With the excellent anaesthesia help CABG is performed OFF-PUMP (Beating Heart) exclusively. This gives us opportunity to extend our services to very high risk surgical candidates like patients with poor LV function and with advance comorbidities, to name few; ESRD on dialysis, COPD and early cirrhosis. Patients with ESRD requiring CABG are routinely catered with great help from Nephrology Department. We are one of the cardiac centers in the town who offer CABG in these high risk patients.
