Adult Cardiac Surgery

Adult cardiac surgery is a specialized area of medicine that focuses on surgical procedures to treat heart conditions in adults. These can include repairing or replacing damaged heart valves, bypassing blocked arteries, or fixing congenital heart defects. The procedures aim to improve heart function and blood flow, relieving symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath. This type of surgery is performed by cardiothoracic surgeons, who are trained to operate on the heart and chest, often using sophisticated techniques and equipment to ensure patient safety and optimal outcomes.
