Types of Cardiovascular Surgery

Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (CABG)

This is a surgical procedure used for severe atherosclerotic disease, in which the blocked portion of the coronary artery is bypassed with another vein or artery. This provides another pathway for oxygen-rich blood to feed the heart muscle, and essentially “Bypass” the blocked artery.

Valvular Heart Surgery

A surgical procedure to repair or replace one or multiple valves that are not working properly, either due to valvular regurgitation or valvular stenosis.

Arrhythmia Surgery

A surgical procedure to correct irregular heart rhythms, such as atrial fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia.

Aortic Surgery

Surgery to repair or replace aortic aneurysms and/or aortic dissections.

Ventricular Assist Device Surgery

A surgical option for advanced heart failure, a condition that results when the heart cannot pump enough oxygenated blood to meet the needs of the body. This procedure involves the implantation of a mechanical circulatory device (MCS) that assists with the pumping function of the heart.

Cardiac Transplantation

A surgical option to treat Advanced heart failure, a condition that results when the heart cannot pump enough oxygenated blood to meet the needs of the body. The failing heart is replaced with a healthier donor heart.
