FAQ

Dr. Rohra’s work includes coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), valve repair and replacement, adult congenital heart surgery, complex and re‑do cardiac cases, minimally invasive bypass and valve surgery, TAVI, MitraClip, and pacemaker implantation.

He focuses on minimally invasive cardiac surgery and complex coronary and valve procedures operations that demand high precision, detailed planning, and careful recovery.

You should seek a surgeon’s opinion when tests show severe blockages or valve disease, or when your cardiologist mentions bypass, valve surgery, or TAVI/MitraClip as options, so you understand all possible treatments clearly.

No. Many patients can be managed with medicines, lifestyle changes, or stents; surgery is advised only when it offers better long‑term protection or symptom relief than other options.

It is heart surgery done through smaller cuts using special instruments instead of opening the full chest bone, aiming for the same quality of repair or bypass with less pain, smaller scars, and often quicker recovery.

The decision depends on your symptoms, scan findings (angiography, echo, CT), overall risk, and what may happen if surgery is delayed; a second opinion is often helpful for such major decisions.

Most patients spend 1–2 days in ICU and another 3–5 days in a room, going home around day 5–7 if recovery is smooth.

In most cases, yes; with guided rehabilitation, many patients return to work, travel, and moderate sports over the following weeks and months.

Angioplasty opens blockages from inside the artery with balloons and stents, while bypass surgery creates new routes around blockages using your own vessels, often preferred in multi‑vessel or complex disease.

Not smoking, controlling blood pressure, sugar, and cholesterol, staying physically active, and following a heart‑healthy diet are key to protecting the repair and preventing future events.
