Cardiac Surgery

Cardiovascular surgery, often known as cardiac surgery, refers to operations on the heart or large blood vessels. It is frequently used to treat congenital heart disease, valvular heart disease from many sources, including endocarditis, rheumatic heart disease, and atherosclerosis, as well as consequences of ischemic heart disease (for instance, after coronary artery bypass grafting). Additionally, heart transplants are part of it.

When other treatments have failed or are not an option, cardiac surgery can treat some heart conditions. Heart surgery could occasionally constitute a medical emergency. For instance, a serious heart attack may require immediate surgery. In some circumstances, you can schedule heart surgery in advance. Heart bypass surgery, which opens blocked cardiac arteries, is one type of significant heart procedure. Other surgeries, including implanting a pacemaker, are less major heart operations.
