The foundations of the Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery department were firmly laid by late Dr P. K. Sen and many other giants in the Surgery department inNineteen Fifties.
Dr P. K. Sen started with Closed Heart Surgeries but was soon closing Atrial Septal Defects using Hypothermia and Inflow Occlusion Techniques (1957) before doing so on extra corporeal circulation in March, 1962. Once the heart lung machine became available, other open-heart operations like open commissurotomies, valve replacements and repairs of congenital heart defects became routine.
It speaks volumes for Dr. Sen’s quest to be in the forefront that the world’s 5th and 6th heart transplants have been recorded at the K.E.M.Hospital in 1968. In absence of law on brain death in those days, the results were poor as the donor hearts could be harvested only after the heart had ceased to beat. This obviously was a set back to the transplant programme.
Dr Sen’s contributions were richly rewarded when he was awarded the Padma Bhushan in 1969. He was the recipient of the Dr. B. C. Roy oration and the Neel ratan Sarkar oration in the same year.His original work on aorto-arteritis has been commemorated in the wonderful monogram on the subject, authored by himself, Dr S. G. Kinare, DrM. D. Kelkar and Dr G. B. Parulkar.He was well ahead of his time when we notice that Trans-myocardialLaser Re-vascularization of the nineties is only an extension of his Myocardial Acupuncture for the treatment of IschaemicHeart Disease, based on his original research on snake heart principles.
The CVTS department has been acknowledged as one of the ten best heart hospitals in the country in Today-Plus (1996) and the department was again recognized as the best training programme for MCh students in India Today opinion poll(1998). While we are proud to have this coveted place of Honor, it is the hard work and dedication of our predecessors that has gone into making of this department.
Dr G. B. Parulkar took on from where Dr. Sen left, brought the CVTS department on the international field. DrParulkar had been an Evarts Graham Fellow. He was bestowed with Padma Bhushan in 1998 and he was the recipient of the Dr. B. C. Roy award for the most eminent medical man of the year 1997.
Dr Sharad Pandey spent time in USA and Canada and on his return started pioneering work on Homograft, Bloodless open-heart surgery and surgery for aortic aneurysms. Along with Mr. V. M. Joshi(Chief Perfusionist), he designed a reusable oxygenator which was an effort to reduce costs of open-heart surgery.
We run general cardiac surgery OPDs on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 1.30 pm to 4.30 pm. We have served thousands of patients from all over India, with an OPD of more than 30,000 patients per year, more than 1,000 complex cardiac surgeries per year including complex high risk congenital cardiac surgeries.Our medical and paramedical staff are dedicated in providing an exceptional, skilled and compassionate healthcare to the patients and their families.
Almost around 2000 patients every year are admitted to the ICCU. Patients with critical post cardiac, lungand vascular surgeries and emergencies like post myocardial infarction complication in the form of ventricular septal rupture, Mitral regurgitation or cardiac chamber rupture, Stuck Mechanical Valves, Cardiac and Lung trauma, Aortic aneurysm rupture and dissections, and other Vascular emergencies are managed with skilled Cardiac surgeons and the paramedical staff.
A committed team of doctors, professional nurses, and Class IV employees look after the patients in the ICU round-the-clock. The patients are monitored with upgraded world class equipment monitoring system and has facility for emergency procedures, IABP insertion and Pacemaker system.
The 14 beds in the ICU are dedicated for the cardiac surgery patients both adult and pediatric postoperative and critical patients.
The ICU was renewed and inaugurated and named after Padma Bhushan Dr G B Parulkar on 25th March 2023 in the august presence of Hon. Dean Dr Sangeeta Ravat.
18 Bedded stepdown ICU recently renewed and well equipped with all the modern modalities. It takes care of the stable patients transferred from the ICU. Can manage the emergencies in the stepdown as well
The Cardiac-surgery ward is 30 bedded fully with separate wings for female and male patients. It takes care of preoperative patients those admitted from the OPD. The ward is managed by our team of doctors, nurse professionals and helper staff. Additionally, the ward is equipped with all the tools necessary for providing emergency care.
The department features Four functional operation theatres delivering world class cardiac surgeries and is equipped with the standard and modern gadgets.
The number of surgeries performed per year is around 1000 to 1200, with all types of routine emergency surgeries. Recently we upgraded the surgeries to minimal invasive techniques, Valve repair procedures and Aortic Aneurysms and Aortic Dissections.
Doctors and paramedical staff are well-equipped at the operation theatre. In the operation, there are 4 Staff-nurses, 4 technicians, 4 class IV employees, 1 senior staff nurse and 1 Chief Sister in command. Three resident doctors, one junior consultant, and one senior consultant are always on duty on the floor. The operation theatre is open 24hrs, with emergency services available round-the-clock. In the event of a problem with a very low morbidity or mortality, every intervention is performed with a cardiology backup whenever needed.
