CABG is a surgical procedure used to treat coronary artery disease. It involves bypassing blocked or narrowed coronary arteries by grafting healthy blood vessels from other parts of the body. This restores blood flow to the heart muscle, alleviating chest pain (angina) and reducing the risk of heart attacks.

Peripheral angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to open blocked or narrowed arteries outside the heart, typically in the limbs or organs. It involves inserting a balloon-tipped catheter into the artery and inflating it to widen the vessel. Often, a stent is placed to maintain the artery's openness and improve blood flow.

TAVI is a less invasive alternative to traditional open-heart surgery for patients with aortic valve disease. During TAVI, a new valve is inserted through a catheter and guided to the heart, where it replaces the diseased aortic valve. This approach reduces recovery time, complications, and hospital stay, especially beneficial for high-risk patients.

Valve replacement surgery is performed to replace a diseased or damaged heart valve with either a mechanical or biological valve. This procedure restores normal blood flow through the heart, improving heart function and alleviating symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue.

Vascular bypass surgery creates new pathways for blood flow around blocked or narrowed arteries using grafts made from synthetic materials or veins taken from the patient's body. It restores adequate blood supply to organs and tissues affected by severe arterial disease, improving circulation and reducing symptoms like pain and tissue damage.
