CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY

   

• Cardiovascular Surgery:

           Various techniques are used for coronary bypass surgery:

• Off-pump or beating-heart surgery: This technique is preferred to prevent heart-lung machine side effects and to ensure a shorter stay at the intensive care unit and subsequent quicker engagement in activities of daily life.
• Radial artery graft: Using radial artery graft that has better rates of re-intervention in comparison to using the saphenous vein graft.
• Aortic no-touch technique: This is used to avoid cerebral complications that may be caused by the aortic “touch”.
• Minimally invasive surgery: A surgeon performs coronary bypass through small incisions in the chest.
• Awake surgery: This technique is preferred for patients who have contraindications for general anesthesia and/or seek shorter hospital stays.

• Heart valve surgery:
  • Complex mitral valve repair surgery
  • Specialized surgical techniques that provide high-risk patients with a surgical option.
  • Surgery for selected patients who do not require a complete opening of the chest bone.

 

• Aortic aneurysm repair and aortic dissection:
  • Complex aortic surgeries are carried out in a low-risk way involving the use of specialized surgical techniques
  • Minimally invasive surgery for selected patients who do not require a complete opening of the chest bone.

 

• Re-operation:
  • Surgery carried out for patients who have already undergone one or more surgical procedures.

 

• High-risk heart surgery:
  • Specialized methods reserved for very high-risk patients who are deemed inoperable by other healthcare facilities.

 

• Congenital heart defect corrective surgery

​

• Robotic heart surgery
