Cardiac surgery is a heart surgery performed by a cardiac surgeon to treat many heart conditions, such as coronary artery disease, heart valve disorders, congenital heart defects, and heart failure.
Cardiac surgery is recommended for people with serious heart conditions that cannot be treated with medications. Common signs include blocked arteries, damaged heart valves, congenital defects, and heart failure. Your cardiologists will decide whether you require surgery after a clear examination of your heart conditions.
Common types of cardiac surgeries performed in Heart360 Care Chennai are coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), heart valve repair or replacement, congenital heart defect repair, heart transplant, and implantation of devices like pacemakers or ventricular assist devices (VADs).
First, you have to undergo a thorough medical check-up and do some tests like echocardiograms and angiograms. Based on their results, if cardiac surgery is decided, then you need to make some lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking and eating healthier foods. Discuss with your medical team to understand the procedure, risks, and recovery duration.
Some of the risks associated with cardiac surgery can include bleeding, infection, blood clots, stroke, irregular heartbeats, and complications related to anesthesia. The complications also depend on the type of surgery and on the patient’s underlying health factors. Choosing a skilled and experienced cardiac surgeon can minimize these risk factors.
Cardiac surgery is a major operation that requires complete rest. Recovery time depends on the surgery type and the patient’s overall health. Usually, patients spend several days in the hospital. Full recovery and rehabilitation may take weeks to months.
Yes, regular follow-up appointments with your cardiac surgeon and cardiologist are essential to monitor recovery, manage medications, and assess heart function post-surgery.
Generally, the majority of insurance providers cover cardiac surgery, but it may vary depending on the procedure type and individual insurance policies. It is important to check with your insurance provider to understand the extent of coverage.
Most patients can gradually resume their light routine activities after cardiac surgery. However, you must avoid any tough activities that cause strain on your heart. You need to follow the after-care instructions recommended by your surgeon for a faster and smoother recovery.
After cardiac surgery, you need to adopt a heart-healthy diet and exercise regularly. To prevent future heart problems, you need to manage stress and take the prescribed medications. It is important to stop smoking as it interferes with long-term recovery.
Cardiac surgery generally has a high success rate, but the outcomes depend on factors such as the type of surgery, the surgical team’s expertise, and the patient’s overall health.
