Open Heart Surgery - it is necessary

Non-surgical techniques like diet and exercise are not effective in the treatment of heart disease, medication may be prescribed.

If heart disease continues to cause discomfort, an invasive procedure is then performed.

Diagnosis

To locate arterial blockages in the heart, coronary angiography (mapping of the coronary arteries) is done using a procedure called cardiac catheterization.

A plastic tube (called a catheter) is passed through an artery in the arm or in the coronary arteries leading leg. A liquid dye is then injected into the catheter. X-rays are then taken following courses dyeing and monitoring the flow dyeing, blocking areas are identified.

There are many kinds of procedures which are commonly carried out:

1. Coronary angioplasty

It is a common operation called percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), also known as angioplasty or balloon angioplasty.

A catheter is inserted into the blocked area of ​​the artery. 2nd catheter with a small balloon is passed through  first catheter. When the balloon touches the blocked area, the balloon is inflated, which widens the artery allowing blood to flow more freely.

2. Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

CABG is a common operation.

A healthy vessel is needed and is used to create a detour around the blocked coronary artery.

One end of the vessel is attached below the lock, the other is attached to the above the following obstruction and blood flows more freely.

3.Heart transplant

The most operations in open-heart surgery is that the graft is necessary.

The operation is complicated because so many blood vessels must be disconnected and re-connected as one replaces the other heart. If the operation takes place, the patient is connected to a heart-lung machine, which maintains the blood circulating around the body.
