What is Open Heart Surgery?
Open heart surgery, also known as open chest heart surgery or surgical heart operation, involves surgically opening the chest to access the heart. This includes procedures like cardiac bypass surgery, heart valve surgery, and other open cardiac procedures using techniques such as open sternotomy procedure and the heart-lung machine for support.
Who Needs Cardiac Surgery?
You may require heart surgery if you have:
- Blocked coronary arteries (requiring coronary artery bypass grafting/CABG)
- Heart valve disorders needing valve replacement or repair
- Congenital heart defects
- Aortic aneurysm or damage
- Severe arrhythmias
- Failed previous treatments
Our expert cardiac surgeons at Curis Life in Andheri West perform life-saving open thoracic surgeries and minimally invasive alternatives, depending on your condition.
