Billroth Hospitals, one of Chennai’s leading multispecialty centres and a pioneer in advanced laparoscopic and laser procedures, announced the launch of its comprehensive Cardiac & Pulmonary Specialty Services at a recent event held at The Leela Palace Chennai. With this expansion, the hospital strengthens its integrated heart–lung care model and reinforces its commitment to delivering high-precision, patient-centric treatment under one roof.
Expanding Integrated Heart–Lung Care
Through the introduction of the Cardiac Transplant Programme, Cardiac Dysfunction Clinic, Cardiac Rehabilitation Centre, Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic, and Pulmonary Embolism Referral Centre, the hospital enhances coordinated and multidisciplinary cardiac and pulmonary care.
By combining advanced technology with expert clinical teams and streamlined treatment pathways, the institution ensures seamless management of complex heart and lung conditions. As a result, patients benefit from comprehensive, compassionate, and holistic healthcare delivered through a unified system.
A Gesture Beyond Treatment
The event’s most poignant moment came when Dr. Rajesh Jeganathan, Chairman, Billroth Hospitals, presented a cheque of ₹20,00,000 to a successful heart transplant patient.
This heartfelt gesture symbolized more than financial support. It underscored the transformative, life-saving impact of advanced cardiac care while reaffirming the hospital’s commitment to standing by patients even after surgery.
A Legacy of Cardiac Excellence
Since launching its Cardiac Department in 2003, the hospital has consistently advanced its clinical capabilities and adopted cutting-edge technologies to manage complex cardiac conditions. Over the years, it has performed more than 50,000 Cath Lab procedures and 10,000 CTVS surgeries, thereby establishing itself as a centre of excellence in cardiac care.
Moreover, the hospital operates 24×7 Advanced Cardiac Emergency Services at its Shenoy Nagar and R.A. Puram units. Consequently, patients receive immediate expert intervention and round-the-clock critical care when every second matters.
Advanced Technology and Infrastructure
As per the press release, the cardiac division houses three state-of-the-art Cath Labs equipped with sophisticated technologies such as Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS), Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) for physiological lesion assessment, Rotablator for rotational atherectomy, and advanced electrophysiology study facilities.
In addition, the department offers comprehensive Cardio-Thoracic and Vascular Surgery (CTVS) capabilities for complex cardiac and vascular procedures. These advanced systems enhance diagnostic accuracy, improve procedural precision, and ultimately optimize patient outcomes.
Through this strategic expansion, Billroth Hospitals not only elevates cardiac and pulmonary care standards in Chennai but also sets a new benchmark for integrated specialty healthcare delivery.
