At the CK Birla Hospitals, Kolkata, our cardiothoracic surgery team provides specialised surgical care for a wide range of heart conditions. We are supported by a team of experienced cardiac surgeons, advanced equipment and modern technologies that enable us to provide comprehensive and personalised surgical care based on each patient’s needs.
Our Approach to Cardiothoracic Care
Our approach to cardiothoracic care focuses on a thorough evaluation, personalised treatment planning and coordinated care. We begin by assessing your symptoms, medical history, diagnostic reports and overall health to understand your condition and determine the most appropriate treatment.
Our cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons work together to assess whether surgery is appropriate for you. We consider factors such as the type and severity of your heart condition, overall health and surgical risk before developing an individualised treatment plan.
For complex cardiac conditions, our multidisciplinary team collaborates across specialities to plan and coordinate your care. We support you throughout your treatment journey, from pre-operative evaluation and surgery to post-operative care and recovery, while keeping you informed about your treatment options at every stage.
Diagnosis and Evaluation of Your Heart Condition
A detailed evaluation helps our specialists understand your condition and determine the most appropriate treatment approach. Depending on your symptoms and diagnosis, your evaluation may include:
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- Echocardiography
- Cardiac imaging
- Blood tests
- Coronary angiography
- CT scans and other specialised investigations
Your cardiothoracic surgeon reviews these findings along with your medical history before discussing the appropriate surgical treatment options with you.
Treatment and Cardiothoracic Surgery Options
Our cardiothoracic surgery team provides surgical treatment for several heart and chest conditions. Treatment options may include:
- Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)

- Minimally invasive cardiac surgery
