Have questions about cardiac surgery, bypass surgery, heart valve procedures, preparation and recovery? Here are answers to common questions about cardiac surgery and surgical heart care at Atrius Cardiac Care.
Cardiac surgery refers to surgical procedures used to treat certain conditions affecting the heart and major blood vessels. The type of surgery depends on the patient's condition, test results and overall health.
Cardiac surgery may be recommended when a heart condition requires surgical treatment and other treatment options may not be sufficient. The decision depends on the severity of the condition, symptoms, diagnostic findings and overall health.
Depending on the condition, cardiac surgical care may include coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), heart valve repair or replacement, minimally invasive cardiac surgery and selected complex cardiac procedures.
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a type of heart surgery used to improve blood flow to the heart when coronary arteries are significantly narrowed or blocked. A surgeon creates a new route for blood to reach the heart muscle.
Heart valve surgery is performed when a heart valve is diseased or does not function properly. Depending on the condition, the valve may be repaired or replaced.
Your cardiac team may recommend tests such as ECG, echocardiography, cardiac imaging or coronary angiography, along with other pre-operative investigations based on your medical condition.
No. Minimally invasive surgery is appropriate only for selected patients and specific procedures. Your cardiac team will assess your condition and determine which surgical approach is suitable.
Preparation may include medical evaluation, diagnostic tests, medication review and pre-operative assessment. Your healthcare team will provide specific instructions based on the planned procedure.
Recovery varies depending on the type of surgery, your overall health and your progress after the procedure. Your cardiac team will guide you regarding activity, medication, rehabilitation and follow-up care.
After surgery, patients may receive monitoring in a cardiac ICU followed by post-operative care. Depending on the procedure and recovery, cardiac rehabilitation and regular follow-up may also be recommended.
