What is Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgery ?
Cardiothoracic surgery is a specialised field of medicine dealing with surgical procedures of the heart, lungs, chest, and blood vessels, treating conditions such as heart disease, lung disease, chest trauma, and vascular disease.
Conditions affecting the heart, chest, and major blood vessels often require a team of highly skilled and experienced surgeons working together to deliver safe, precise care. At Apex Hospitals, Malviya Nagar, our dedicated Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and the latest surgical technology, offering medical care for both emergency and elective thoracic and cardiac conditions.
Our care extends from coronary artery disease and heart valve disorders to congenital heart defects in children and diseases of the major blood vessels, including the aorta. Dr. Rahul Kumar Bhukar also performs robotic cardiac surgery, a minimally invasive approach that brings a standard of care to Rajasthan previously available only at select centres in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Bangalore.
Condition We Treat
Coronary Artery Disease Narrowing or blockage of the arteries supplying blood to the heart, often requiring bypass surgery to restore blood flow. | Heart Valve Disease Malfunction of one or more of the heart’s four valves, disrupting the correct direction of blood flow through the heart. | Congenital Heart Disease Heart defects present since birth, such as Tetralogy of Fallot, which may require surgical correction in infancy or childhood. |
Aortic Aneurysm A dangerous bulging of the aorta that carries a risk of rupture or dissection, addressed through open surgical repair. | Vascular Disease (including Aorta) Conditions affecting the blood-supplying vessels, including the aorta, requiring surgical reconstruction or repair. | Chest Trauma & Thoracic Conditions Injuries and conditions of the chest and lungs requiring thoracic surgical intervention. |
See us if you experience:
Chest pain or tightness, especially with exertion
Breathlessness during routine activity
Bluish discolouration of the lips, skin, or nails (a sign of low oxygenated blood, especially in children)
Difficulty feeding or poor weight gain in an infant
A known or suspected heart murmur
Sudden, severe chest or abdominal pain (possible aortic emergency)
Leg pain, swelling, or coldness (possible vascular disease)
Our Services and Procedures
Our CTVS team performs over 300 cardiac surgeries annually, spanning routine bypass surgery to complex congenital heart repairs, a volume of experience that translates directly into safer outcomes for patients.
Dr. Rahul Kumar Bhukar performed robotic cardiac surgery using the SSI Mantra system, Rajasthan's first Make-In-India robotic surgical system. Patients who previously had no option other than open-heart surgery can now access minimally invasive alternatives, without travelling outside the state.
A fully equipped Cardiac CTVS ICU supports patients through the critical post-operative period, backed by an expert team of cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, and vascular surgeons working together on every case.
From congenital heart defects in young children to complex aortic aneurysm repair, our team is equipped to manage high-risk and rare cardiac cases that might otherwise require referral to a metro city hospital.
Patient Journey
Book online, call our helpline (9829030011), or walk in during OPD hours, Monday to Saturday, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Patients with acute chest pain, breathlessness, or suspected cardiac emergencies are seen on an emergency basis, 24/7.
Dr. Bhukar reviews your history and orders relevant cardiac investigations, ECG, echocardiography, angiography, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), or CT imaging, to confirm the diagnosis and plan the right surgical approach.
Treatment options are explained clearly — medical management, minimally invasive catheter-based procedures, robotic cardiac surgery, or open surgical repair, along with risks, benefits, and expected recovery for each option.
Procedures range from coronary bypass and valve surgery to congenital heart repair and robotic cardiac surgery. All surgeries are performed with full cardiac anaesthesia and critical care support, in a fully equipped CTVS ICU environment.
Patients are closely monitored in the dedicated Cardiac CTVS ICU during the critical recovery period. Most patients are discharged within 5–7 days for standard procedures, depending on the complexity of the surgery and individual recovery.
Structured follow-up tracks recovery and long-term heart function. Cardiac rehabilitation and lifestyle guidance support a safe return to normal activity, with ongoing monitoring for patients with chronic cardiac or vascular conditions.
Patient Testimonials & Case Studies
Parent of a 3-Year-Old Patient
Condition: Tetralogy of Fallot (Congenital Heart Disease)
★★★★★
"Our daughter's lips and nails would turn bluish, and she struggled to breathe and feed properly. We were told she had a serious heart condition called Tetralogy of Fallot. It was terrifying as parents to hear that our three-year-old needed heart surgery. Dr. Rahul Kumar Bhukar and his team explained everything clearly and gave us confidence that she was in safe hands. The surgery lasted about five hours, and she was discharged just five days later, in stable condition. Today, she is playing and feeding normally — something we weren't sure we would ever see. We are deeply grateful, and the fact that the entire treatment was covered under the Chief Minister Ayushman Arogya Yojana meant we never had to worry about the cost while our child's life was at stake."
Condition: A three-year-old child was diagnosed with cyanotic congenital heart disease, specifically Tetralogy of Fallot — a condition involving a large hole between the two pumping chambers of the heart, along with narrowing of the blood vessel carrying blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. Due to reduced oxygenated blood supply, the child experienced bluish discolouration of the lips and nails, breathlessness, and difficulty feeding.
Treatment Given: Under the guidance of Dr. Rahul Kumar Bhukar, Consultant — Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery (CTVS), the child underwent intracardiac repair surgery. The defect between the chambers was closed, and reconstruction of the pulmonary valve, pulmonary wall, and artery was performed. The surgery lasted approximately five hours. The entire treatment was provided free of cost under the Chief Minister Ayushman Arogya Yojana.
Outcome: The child was discharged in stable condition on the fifth day after surgery.

Apex Hospitals, Malviya Nagar is among the best hospitals for cardiothoracic and vascular surgery in Jaipur, performing 300+ cardiac surgeries every year, with a fully equipped CTVS ICU and robotic cardiac surgery capability under Dr. Rahul Kumar Bhukar.
Tetralogy of Fallot is a congenital heart defect involving a large hole between the heart’s two pumping chambers, along with narrowing of the blood vessel carrying blood to the lungs. It causes reduced oxygen supply, leading to symptoms such as bluish discolouration of the lips and nails, breathlessness, and feeding difficulty in infants and young children. It is treated with intracardiac repair surgery.
Yes. Apex Hospitals, Malviya Nagar performs congenital heart surgery for children, including complex intracardiac repairs for conditions such as Tetralogy of Fallot, supported by a fully equipped Cardiac CTVS ICU.
Robotic cardiac surgery repairs heart conditions through small keyhole incisions using a robotic system, without dividing the breastbone — resulting in less pain and faster recovery than open-heart surgery. It is available at Apex Hospitals, Malviya Nagar, performed by Dr. Rahul Kumar Bhukar using the SSI Mantra system.
Coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) restores blood flow to the heart when the coronary arteries are narrowed or blocked, by creating a new path for blood to flow around the blockage using a graft vessel
An aortic aneurysm is a dangerous bulging of the aorta that carries a risk of rupture or dissection. It is treated through open surgical repair to prevent rupture and correct any resulting damage.
IVUS uses a tiny ultrasound probe attached to a catheter to create detailed images inside the coronary arteries, allowing doctors to assess blockages, plaque buildup, and vessel health with high precision before deciding on treatment.
Apex Hospitals, Malviya Nagar offers 300+ cardiac surgeries annually, a fully equipped CTVS ICU, robotic cardiac surgery, and proven experience managing complex cases including congenital heart disease in children — all under Dr. Rahul Kumar Bhukar.
