Cardiac surgery

Cardiac surgery is a branch of medicine that focuses on the surgical treatment of diseases of the heart and major blood vessels.

A cardiac surgeon is responsible for:

• evaluating patients who may require heart surgery
• performing surgical procedures on the heart and major vessels (bypass surgery, valve surgery, etc.)
• providing care in complex and critical conditions
• managing patients before and after surgery
• assessing indications and optimal timing for surgical treatment
• working together with cardiologists to determine treatment strategy

Timely consultation with a cardiac surgeon helps determine the need for surgery and reduces the risk of complications.
