  1. Types of Cardiac Heart Surgery

  2. These days, heart problems are so common. However, there’s a misconception that every problem related to heart requires a heart surgery. Such problems may cause by several factors such as such as lifestyle changes, medications, nonsurgical procedures and many more. But, don’t take such factors so lightly, as they may cause much bigger problems to your health and even take you to heart surgery, which may affect your brain. To prevent the brain during cardiovascular procedures doctors are now using Cerebral Embolic Protection devices during heart surgeries.

  3. Depending on the type of heart problem there are many types of heart surgeries: CABG Heart valve repair or replacement Maze surgery Reduce Stress Aneurysm repair

  4. CABG CABG stands for coronary artery bypass grafting. In this surgery, surgeon picks a healthy artery or a vein from the body and further connects it to the blocked artery. This may create a new path for blood to flow across the heart muscles.

  5. Heart Valve Repair or Replacement This the most common type of heart surgery, as in this surgery, surgeons repair or replace a heart valve with artificial or biological valve. The biological valve is made up of the heart tissue of cow, pig or human. Also, there is an another way to repair heart valve, in which the surgeon inserts a catheter through a large blood vessel, take it to the heart and inflate and deflate a small balloon at the tip of the catheter to widen a narrow valve.

  6. Maze Surgery “Maze” means “puzzle”. This surgery is like a puzzle, as the surgeon creates a puzzle like network which is made up of tissues to redirect electrical signals from upper heart chambers to the lower heart chambers.

  7. Aneurysm Repair You may be aware of this surgery. In this surgery, a surgeon replaces a weak section of the heart walls or artery with a graft or patch. This surgery is responsible to repair a balloon-like bulge present on the wall of the heart muscle.
