Cardiac surgery is a branch of surgery that diagnoses and manages cardiovascular diseases. The first surgery on the heart was performed in Oslo in 1895. During the 20th Century the medical research development on cardiac surgery has revolutionized the industry, and today some cardiac surgeries

Coronary Bypass

A coronary bypass is the most effective treatment to manage blocked heart arteries by creating new passages for blood to flow to the heart muscle. By taking arteries or veins from other parts of the body, these can be rerouted (or “bypassed”) around the clogged artery and reach the heart. A patient might undergo several bypass grafts, depending on the number of coronary arteries that are blocked. 
very common medical procedures.

Heart Transplant

A heart transplant removes a diseased heart and replaces it with a healthy heart from another person. The first heart transplants were performed in the late 1960s, but it was not until the 1980s, with the help of anti-rejection medicines, that the procedure became wholly customary.

Heart Valve Surgery

The heart has four chambers where blood is pumped through aided by four heart valves. The blood is pumped through in only one direction, and here the heart valves play key roles. They open and close to let the blood flow in only one direction at each heartbeat.

Pacemaker

A heart beats (contracts) due to electrical impulses from the heart muscle. For some people, these impulses do not work properly, causing the heart to beat too fast, too slow, or irregularly. To help the heart beat regularly, an implantable (or artificial) pacemaker is inserted into the patient’s body. This small device (the size of a matchbox) is run by a battery and helps the heart beat in a regular rhythm.
