Each day, thousands of people everywhere in the world have heart surgery. These are many different types of heart surgery performed to:

 

- Repair or replace the valves that control blood flow through the heart's chambers.

- Bypass or widen blocked or narrowed arteries to the heart.
- Repair aneurysms, or bulges in the aorta, which can be deadly if they burst.
- Implant devices to regulate heart rhythms.
- Destroy small amounts of tissue that disturb electrical flow through the heart.
- Make channels in the heart muscle to allow blood from a heart chamber directly into the heart muscle. 
- Boost the heart's pumping power with muscles taken from the back or abdomen.
- Replace the damaged heart with a heart from a donor.

 

 

Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery is performed when the arteries that supply blood and oxygen to the heart muscle become hardened and narrowed because of coronary artery disease (CAD). Your doctor may recommend coronary artery bypass surgery when lifestyle changes and medicines don't help. The patient's chest cavity is opened. The patient is attached to a heart-lung machine that keeps the blood circulating while the heart is stopped. After the heart stops beating, a piece of a vein from the leg or artery from the chest or wrist is used and the surgeon attaches this to the coronary artery above and below the narrowed area or blockage. This allows blood to bypass the blockage. Finally, the patient is taken off of the heart-lung machine. The heart begins to beat again. Some people may require more than one bypass.
