Heart Procedures and Surgeries

Coronary Artery Bypass Graft

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) treats coronary artery disease. This surgery helps blood make a detour, or bypass, around one or more narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. Coronary arteries are the blood vessels that bring blood to the heart.

Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft

Off-Pump Coronary artery bypass graft is surgery to treat coronary artery disease. This procedure is performed without using the heart-lung machine. The surgery helps blood make a detour, or bypass, around one or more narrowed or blocked coronary arteries.

Mitral Valve Surgery

Mitral valve surgery can repair or replace your heart’s mitral valve. The new valve may be mechanical or made of animal tissue. Your physician will talk with you about which type of valve is best for you. The mitral valve opens and closes to keep blood flowing in the proper direction through your heart.

Aortic Valve Replacement

Aortic valve replacement gives you a new aortic heart valve. The new valve may be mechanical or made of animal tissue. Your physician will talk with you before surgery about which type of valve is best for you. The aortic valve opens and closes to keep blood flowing in the proper direction through your heart.

Surgical Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation

Treatment for atrial fibrillation helps prevent stroke and heart failure. It also helps relieve symptoms. Atrial fibrillation is often caused by another heart problem. It may happen after heart surgery. It may also be caused by other problems, such as an overactive thyroid gland or lung disease.
