Know about AHT Cardiosurgery Center in Tbilisi

Tbilisi, Georgia: The AHT Cardiosurgery Center, a part of the American Hospital Tbilisi, is a state-of-the-art facility that offers comprehensive and high-quality cardiosurgical services to patients with various heart conditions. 

The centre is led by Dr Mikheil Metreveli, a renowned cardio-cardi surgeon, and supported by a team of professional doctors, nurses and technicians.

The AHT Cardiosurgery Center provides a range of surgical procedures, including:

• Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) on a working heart, using both standard and mini-invasive methods: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a surgery that improves blood flow to the heart by creating a new route for the blood to bypass a blocked or narrowed artery.

• Surgery of congenital and acquired heart defects, using both standard and minimally invasive approaches: Congenital heart defects are problems with the heart’s structure that are present at birth, while acquired heart defects are those that develop later in life due to various causes. Some examples of heart defects are holes in the heart, abnormal valves, and abnormal connections between the chambers or vessels of the heart.

• Heart valve surgery, using both standard and minimally invasive approaches: Heart valve surgery is a procedure that repairs or replaces a damaged or diseased heart valve, which regulates the flow of blood through the heart. The surgery can involve reconstructing the valve to preserve its function or replacing it with a biological or mechanical valve.

• Surgery of heart and mediastinal tumours: Heart tumours are abnormal growths originating from the heart tissue or spreading from other parts of the body. Mediastinal tumours occur in the mediastinum, the space between the lungs that contains the heart, aorta, oesophagus, thymus and other structures. Some examples of heart and mediastinal tumours are myxomas, sarcomas, lymphomas and thymomas.

• Ascending aorta and arch surgery: The ascending aorta is the first part of the aorta, the largest artery in the body. It carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. The arch is the curved part of the aorta that branches into the arteries that supply the head and arms. Ascending aorta and arch surgery is a procedure that repairs or replaces a damaged or diseased section of the aorta, such as an aneurysm, a dissection, or a coarctation.
