Does Dr. Kunal Sarkar perform coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG)?
Yes. Dr. Kunal Sarkar, a cardiac surgeon at Medica Superspecialty Hospital, Kolkata, performs complex CABG, including off-pump total arterial grafting and CABG with endarterectomy. Suitability depends on angiography and overall health.
What is off-pump bypass surgery?
Off-pump bypass is performed on the beating heart without a heart-lung machine. Dr. Sarkar uses this technique in suitable patients, depending on their heart anatomy and overall health.
What is total arterial bypass grafting?
Total arterial grafting uses arteries from the chest wall or forearm instead of leg veins for bypass grafts. Dr. Sarkar performs it; the choice depends on blockages, age and health.
Can bypass surgery and valve surgery be done in the same operation?
Yes. Patients with blocked arteries and a diseased valve can have both treated in one operation. Dr. Sarkar performs combined CABG and valve surgery after detailed cardiac evaluation.

Yes. Dr. Sarkar operates on aortic aneurysms (a bulge in the aorta) and aortic dissections (a tear in its wall). An acute dissection is an emergency needing immediate care.
What is redo heart surgery?
Redo surgery is a second heart operation, such as repeat bypass or valve replacement. It is more complex because of scar tissue. Dr. Sarkar performs redo procedures after careful individual assessment.
What is bloodless heart surgery?
Bloodless heart surgery uses techniques that avoid or minimise blood transfusion during and after the operation. Dr. Sarkar offers this approach when blood counts and the planned procedure allow it.
When might a patient with heart blockages be referred to a cardiac surgeon?
A surgical opinion is often sought when angiography shows multiple blockages, left main disease, or blockages unsuitable for stents, especially with diabetes or weak heart function.
What should I bring to a heart surgery consultation?
Bring your angiogram disc and report, echocardiogram, ECGs, blood tests, discharge summaries and a list of medicines, including blood thinners and records of earlier heart procedures.
