Types of Heart Surgeries that cannot be prevented!
Preventions are always better than cures. Similarly, heart diseases can be prevented to some extent by following a proper lifestyle. However, the problem can lead to heart surgery. Although, with technological advancement in the medical sciences, surgeries have lost their scare to a large extent. Surgeries today are minimally invasive and easier than before.
Heart failure, plaque blocking blood flow in vessels, faulty heart valves, dilated or diseased major blood vessels, and abnormal heart rhythms are some of the issues that take you to the heart specialist.
Types of heart surgeries that cannot be prevented
This detail will benefit you immensely, to prevent and manage well if you fall into any situation like this.
1. Heart valve repair or replacement
For the condition with a narrowed valve, the catheter is inserted with a balloon that is inflated and deflated to widen the valve thereby repairing it.
2. CABG (Coronary Artery bypass grafting)
It is one of the most common surgeries in which a healthy vessel is exchanged and connected to supply blood across the blocked vessel.
3. Pacemaker insertion
When required for a condition of an abnormal rhythm of the heart called arrhythmia. A pacemaker or an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is inserted under the skin of the chest or abdomen connecting heart chambers. Electric pulses are used to control the disturbed rhythm of the heart. Similar to ICD, it restores rhythm by sending electric shock.
4. Maze surgery
The stray electrical signals that are often the cause of atrial fibrillation are blocked through this surgery. Atrial fibrillation is some of the usual causes of arrhythmia.
5. Aneurysm repair
To repair an artery or wall of the heart muscle, a patch or graft is replaced with the affected area or problematic section of the artery or heart wall.
6. Heart transplant
In heart transplant, surgery is performed to replace diseased heart with a healthy heart.
