How to Choose the Right Cardiac Surgeon in Narsingi
- Check the qualification: look for an MCh or DNB in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery, or FRCS (Cardiothoracic). Fellowships in transplant or minimally invasive surgery add focused training.
- Match the operation: bypass surgery, valve repair or replacement, aortic surgery, minimally invasive surgery and heart or lung transplant are often led by surgeons with different interests.
- Look at the set-up: a dedicated cardiac operating theatre, cardiac ICU, perfusion team and 24-hour cath lab are essential.
- Bring your records: the angiogram CD and report, echo, ECG, blood tests and a list of medicines help the surgeon advise you.
- Ask about outcomes and options: ask how often the team does your operation, the expected recovery, and whether angioplasty or another option was considered.
