Which are the closed-heart surgery?

Common closed-heart surgeries include aortic coarctation repair, “shunt” operations to increase blood flow to the lungs, vascular ring division, patent ductus arteriosus ligation or division, and pulmonary artery repair.

How is closed-heart surgery performed?

Most closed-heart operations are actually dealing with the major blood vessels coming directly from the heart such as the aorta or pulmonary arteries. Often closed-heart procedures are done using a thoracotomy incision (from the side, between the ribs), though some are best done from the front (sternotomy incision).

What is the hardest heart surgery?

Open heart procedures, which represent a major portion of our volume, require cardiopulmonary bypass (heart-lung bypass machine) and are usually the most complicated and complex procedures.

But 8-10 years after a heart bypass operation, mortality increases by 60-80 per cent. This is new and important knowledge for the doctors who monitor these patients.

How many years can you live after bypass surgery?
