Surgery Procedures include:
Coronary artery bypass surgery - The surgery reroutes, or "bypasses," blood around clogged arteries to improve blood flow. Off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery - also known as beating-heart surgery, allows for surgery without having to stop the heart. Minimally invasive heart surgery (MIDCAB) - Approach for bypassing critically blocked arteries that is less difficult and risky than conventional open-heart surgery. Left ventricular assist device implantation (LVAD) - surgically implanted mechanical device that helps the heart pump blood. In other words, they are "heart pumps." Valve replacement and repair - Heart valve disease occurs when a valve doesn't work right. A valve may not open all the way, or have problems closing. If this happens, blood doesn't move through the heart's chambers the way it should. Valve replacement involves replacing the faulty heart valve with a prosthetic (artificial) valve.
