Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery in Navi Mumbai
Heart disease doesn’t just affect our health — it changes our lives. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon. According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally, taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year. In India, the picture is equally sobering — a recent study by the Indian Council of Medical Research found that one in four deaths in India is due to heart disease, with coronary artery disease being the most common culprit.
When medications and lifestyle changes are no longer enough, Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) Surgery offers hope — a life-extending, quality-restoring solution. CABG restores blood flow to the heart by bypassing blocked arteries, enabling patients to breathe, move, and live freely again.
Dr. Rakesh Tirmale, a Senior Cardiothoracic Surgeon at Terna Hospital in Navi Mumbai, says:
“For many, Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) arrives silently, only to reveal itself through a life-altering cardiac event. The aim of CABG is not just to treat a blocked artery but to reduce pain, improve heart function, and return them to a life of vitality. We believe in combining world-class surgical technique with deeply personalized patient care. Every bypass surgery is a new beginning, and we walk each step of the journey with our patients.”
Terna Hospital is proud to be a leading center for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery in Navi Mumbai, offering evidence-based care, high surgical success rates, and a compassionate approach to healing.
Every heart is different, and so is every surgical approach.
Types of CABG Surgery Provided at Terna Hospital
Our cardiac team selects the appropriate type of bypass surgery based on factors such as the number of blocked arteries, the location of blockages, patient age, overall health, and presence of comorbidities.
Here are the major types:
1. Traditional On-Pump CABG
This method involves using a heart-lung machine to take over the heart’s function while the surgery is performed. It’s ideal for complex cases where precision is key.
2. Off-Pump CABG (Beating Heart Surgery)
This technique allows the surgeon to perform the bypass while the heart continues to beat. It minimizes complications and is often recommended for older patients or those with kidney or lung conditions.
3. Minimally Invasive Direct Coronary Artery Bypass (MIDCAB)
For suitable patients, we offer this less invasive option through small incisions, often without using the heart-lung machine. Recovery is faster and hospital stays are shorter.
4. Robot-Assisted CABG
Leveraging robotic technology, our surgical team performs precise movements through small ports, enhancing accuracy and reducing trauma to the chest wall.
Understanding what to expect can ease uncertainty.
How Does CABG Surgery Work at Terna Hospital?
- Preoperative Assessment
- A detailed evaluation is carried out, including:
- Blood tests, ECG, echocardiography, and coronary angiography
- Anesthesia clearance and assessment by the surgical team
- Counseling to prepare you mentally and physically
- Anesthesia and Preparation
Under general anesthesia, our team preps the body and ensures vital signs are stable. The surgical area is sterilized to reduce infection risks.
- Harvesting the Graft
To create the bypass, surgeons typically use a healthy blood vessel such as the saphenous vein from the leg, the radial artery from the arm, or the internal mammary artery from the chest.
- Performing the Bypass
Depending on the chosen method (on-pump or off-pump), the surgeon creates a new path for blood to flow around the blocked artery using the harvested vessel.
- Closing and Recovery
Once blood flow is restored, the chest is closed with sutures, and you are moved to the ICU for monitoring over the next 24–48 hours.
High surgical precision, advanced cardiac monitoring, and seamless coordination among specialists have made Terna Hospital a sought-after facility for CABG surgery in Navi Mumbai.
CABG doesn’t end in the operating room-the days and weeks following surgery are equally crucial.
Post-Surgery Care at Terna Hospital
We focus on an integrated recovery program that includes:
1. In-Hospital Monitoring
Patients are monitored continuously for heart rhythm, blood pressure, and oxygen levels. Pain management and infection control are prioritized.
2. Cardiac Rehabilitation
This structured program includes:
- Supervised physical activity
- Nutritional guidance
- Emotional counseling
- Education about lifestyle changes
3. Medication Management
Patients are educated on necessary medications like blood thinners, cholesterol-lowering agents, and antihypertensives, with dosage and side-effect guidance.
4. Follow-Up & Support
We ensure close follow-up appointments and 24×7 tele-consultation availability. Recovery timelines are tracked, and new symptoms are addressed swiftly.
Not all heart hospitals are created equal. Here’s what sets us apart.

Let’s answer the most common questions our patients ask before and after their CABG surgery in Navi Mumbai.
1.How long does CABG surgery take?
Typically, the surgery lasts 3 to 6 hours, depending on the complexity and number of arteries being bypassed.
2. Can a person live a normal life after CABG?
Yes, most people return to an active, healthy life. In fact, many experience improved quality of life and increased energy compared to before surgery.
3. Is CABG permanent?
While the surgery provides long-term benefits, grafts can narrow or close over time, especially without lifestyle changes. Maintaining heart health is key.
4. Are all heart blockages treated with CABG?
No. Some blockages may be managed with angioplasty or medications. CABG is generally reserved for multiple blockages or complex cases.
5. Is CABG better than angioplasty?
For patients with multiple vessel disease or diabetes, CABG often offers better long-term outcomes than angioplasty. Your cardiologist will help decide the best route.
6. Will I need CABG again in the future?
Repeat CABG is rare if patients follow a heart-healthy lifestyle and adhere to prescribed medications. However, in some cases, re-intervention may be required.
