What is cardiac surgery?

Cardiac surgery is a surgery used to fix all sorts of heart problems from structural or heart rhythm issues to blockages. This is highly specialised and performed by expert cardiac surgeons. While it's a major step, heart surgery can significantly enhance heart function and blood flow—often giving patients a renewed sense of life and energy.

Heart surgery may be done to treat conditions present from birth (known as congenital heart defects) or to address problems that develop over time. The specific type of surgery you'll need depends on the nature and complexity of the heart issue. You might also hear heart surgery called:

  • Cardiac surgery
  • Cardiovascular surgery

Your doctor may suggest cardiac surgery for several reasons. Here are some of the common conditions we treat:

  • Blocked arteries that restrict blood flow to the heart (coronary artery disease)
  • Valve disease, where the heart valves do not open or close properly
  • Heart rhythm problems, such as atrial fibrillation
  • Congenital heart defects (conditions you’re born with)
  • Heart failure, when the heart becomes too weak to pump blood
  • Aneurysms, which are bulges in the blood vessel walls
  • Infections in the heart, such as endocarditis

Coronary artery bypass surgery is often recommended when there is a blockage in one or more coronary arteries. In this surgery, the surgeon creates a new path for blood to flow around the blockage.

In some cases, congenital cardiac surgery is done in infants or children to repair defects present from birth. Adults with congenital heart disease may also need surgery later in life.

FAQs

Recovery usually takes 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the type of surgery and your overall health.
