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
