Cardiovascular Surgery
Cardiovascular surgery is a type of medical procedure focused on the heart and blood vessels. Surgeons perform these operations to treat conditions such as blockages in the arteries, heart valve issues, or congenital heart defects. Common procedures include bypass surgery, where blood flow is rerouted around blocked arteries, and valve repair or replacement. These surgeries aim to improve heart function, alleviate symptoms, and enhance overall health. Cardiovascular surgery often requires careful planning and recovery, and it’s typically recommended when other treatments are insufficient.
