Heart Surgery

Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death across the globe. A study has shown that more than half a billion people around the world are affected by cardiovascular disease.

What is Heart Surgery?

Heart surgery or cardiac surgery consists of a range of procedures performed on the heart muscle, valves, arteries, or aorta. These surgeries address various heart issues like blockages, irregular rhythms, and valve malfunctions. By restoring the heart’s function and circulation, heart surgery can significantly extend lifespan.

Types of Heart Surgery

Open Heart Surgery

A 6–8 inch incision is made in the chest.
The heart is stopped and connected to a heart-lung bypass machine.

Off-Pump Bypass Surgery

Similar to open surgery, but without stopping the heart.
Used only for CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting).

Minimally Invasive Surgery

Small incisions on the side of the chest.
May use robotic assistance or video imaging.

Factors That Affect Heart Surgery Cost

Medication costs
Duration of treatment
Geographical location
Hospitalization expenses
