Even with resounding success with the minimally invasive procedure of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), traditional surgery remains the right path for some patients. Upon a visit to the center, our multidisciplinary team reviews all the pros and cons to choose the best surgical option for each person.
This surgery is performed to repair adult congenital heart disease.
CABG surgery is often performed in combination with valve surgery. It treats coronary artery disease (CAD) by using a vein or artery from the leg or chest to bypass a blockage in the artery.
This is a procedure to repair or replace multiple heart valves.
Also known as reparative or repeat heart valve surgery, this procedure fixes heart problems that develop after previous heart surgery. This surgery is often performed to:
- Replace a heart valve that has deteriorated
- Fix a coronary bypass that has become blocked or narrowed
- Treat issues with the aorta
- Address other problems that arise after heart surgery
This is a treatment option for patients who have severe aortic stenosis (the tightening of the aortic valve), aortic insufficiency (leaky aortic valve), or infective endocarditis (infected aortic valve). During this procedure, our cardiothoracic surgeon makes an incision in your chest to access your heart. The size of the incision will vary. Your damaged or diseased aortic valve will be removed, and a new valve will be sewn into place.
The open-heart treatment for mitral valve repair or replacement involves the surgeon cutting in the middle of the chest to reach the heart. The size of the incision will vary.
During this procedure, the surgeon will make an incision in the chest and through the breastbone to access the tricuspid valve for repair or replacement.
During this procedure, the surgeon cuts through the breast bone and removes the old valve and replaces it with a new one.
This procedure repairs an aneurysm or weakening of the large vessel near the heart. It may involve repairing or replacing the aortic valve through an incision through the sternum.
