    What is Cardiac Surgery?

    Cardiac surgery refers to any surgery done on the heart or blood vessels in close proximity to the heart. Sometimes, cardiac surgery may involve the structures or tissues near the heart.

    Who is a Cardiac Surgeon?

    A cardiac surgeon, also known as a heart surgeon or a cardiovascular surgeon, is a medical doctor specializing in the surgery of the heart, heart valves, and heart-related blood vessels. These blood vessels include the important arteries and veins around the heart.

    SGVP Holistic Hospital provides cardiac care and treatment under the expert guidance of the best heart surgeon in Ahmedabad for improved heart health and improved quality of life.

    What Are the Different Types of Cardiac Surgeons?

    Cardiac surgeons can be classified into two different types, based on the heart structures on which they operate. The two types include:

    • Cardiothoracic Surgeon: This type of surgeon operates on the thoracic organs or organs situated in the chest region, including the heart, trachea, esophagus, and lungs.
    • Congenital Cardiac Surgeon: This type of cardiac surgeon helps manage heart problems present at birth, usually in infants and children.

    What Does a Cardiac Surgeon Do?

    A cardiac surgeon performs surgical procedures on the heart, aorta, pulmonary vein, and other vital structures associated with heart health. 

    A cardiac surgeon usually does not diagnose a heart disease. Most patients visiting a cardiac surgeon have already been diagnosed with a heart condition by a cardiologist. The cardiologist usually refers the patient to a cardiac surgeon if surgery is required to manage the heart condition.

    The cardiac surgeon will perform the surgery and monitor the patient’s condition immediately after surgery. Once the patient starts recovering at home, he/she will usually go back to heart care monitoring and care under a cardiologist.

    Reasons to See a Cardiac Surgeon

    Heart surgery is considered to be a major and serious type of surgery. A person needs to see a cardiac surgeon only when there are no better or safer treatment alternatives other than cardiac surgery that are safe or likely to help the person’s heart condition.

    The patient is generally recommended to undergo cardiac surgery by a cardiologist or, in some cases, another medical specialist like a pulmonologist or a gastroenterologist and referred to the cardiac surgeon for the same.

    Types of Heart Conditions Treated by Cardiac Surgeon

    Some common heart conditions treated by a cardiac surgeon include the following:

    • Coronary Artery Disease: This condition refers to the narrowing or blockage of the artery supplying blood to the heart.
    • Aortic Disorders: These are conditions affecting the aorta, which is the main artery carrying blood from the heart to the rest of the body. 
    • Congenital Heart Problems: These are heart conditions that are present from birth and may involve structural problems in the heart, such as holes between the heart chambers.
    • Pericarditis: This condition refers to an inflammation of the sac-like tissue surrounding the heart. 
    • Heart Failure: It is a serious condition in which the heart fails to pump enough blood to meet the requirements of the body.
    • Cardiomyopathy: It is a condition that affects the heart muscle and makes it difficult for the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body.
    • Heart Valve Diseases: These conditions include improper functioning or damage of the heart valves.

    Common Heart Surgeries Performed by Cardiac Surgeon

    At SGVP Holistic Hospital, the top cardiac surgeon in Ahmedabad will assess you and your heart condition thoroughly. You will then be offered an appropriate heart surgery based on your condition and needs.

    Some common heart surgeries offered by our cardiac surgeon include:

    • Coronary artery bypass grafting or heart bypass surgery
    • Congenital heart surgeries
    • Maze procedure
    • Valve repair and valve replacement surgeries
    • Implantation of heart devices like pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators
    • Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy surgery for the management of heart enlargement
    • Heart transplants

    These cardiac procedures may be done using invasive (open heart surgery), minimally invasive, or robot-assisted techniques. 

    The cardiac surgeon will cut open the chest in invasive techniques or open heart surgeries to access the heart. 

    A minimally invasive technique involves making smaller incisions and using specialized surgical tools to perform the surgery. This enables a quicker recovery, less pain, less blood loss, and reduced chances of developing complications.

    In the case of robot-assisted heart procedures, the surgical procedure will be performed by robotic hands controlled by the cardiac surgeon through a camera inserted through one of the small incisions made in the chest area. The surgeon can view the inside of the heart through a video monitor attached to the camera to carry out the surgical procedure. This procedure ensures better precision and easy manoeuvring through the internal heart.

    You need to consider some key factors when choosing the right heart surgeon for your heart surgery. The choice of the right heart surgeon will increase the chances of a successful procedure and improve the longevity and quality of your life.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Click to get answers to your questions

    Yes, cardiac surgeons perform heart surgeries, whereas cardiologists help in the diagnosis and treatment of heart disorders that do not involve surgery.

    Generally, a cardiologist refers a patient to a cardiac surgeon if they determine that surgery is the only treatment option for the patient’s heart condition.

    If you are scheduled to undergo heart surgery, you need to ask the following questions to your cardiac surgeon before undergoing the procedure:

    • What is your experience with heart surgeries?
    • Are there any alternative treatments besides surgery for my condition?
    • What are the potential risks associated with the surgery?
    • What are the benefits of the surgical procedure?
    • What will happen if I do not undergo surgery?
    • What can I expect during and after the surgery?
    • What will be the recovery like after the surgery?
    • What will be the cost of the surgery?

    A cardiac surgeon can perform a general surgery only if there is an emergency and a general surgeon is not available to do the surgery. Even though a cardiac surgeon practices general surgery before going on to specialize in cardiac surgery, his/her work as a cardiac surgeon is quite demanding, leaving with no time to do general surgeries.

    The duration of hospital stay following a heart surgery will vary depending on the type of surgery a patient has undergone and the recovery process.

     In case of minor heart surgeries, the patient may need to stay in the hospital for 3 to 4 days. However, in case of more invasive heart surgery, the patient may need to stay in the hospital for 10 days or more.

    A woman undergoing IUI treatment may need to visit her treatment center five to ten times over a two-week period while undergoing the procedure.
