FAQ's Related to Cardiovascular Surgeon

A cardiovascular surgeon performs surgical procedures on patients with disorders of the heart, blood vessels, or chest. Cardiovascular surgeons perform surgeries to treat patients with blocked coronary arteries, valve problems, aortic diseases, and peripheral vascular diseases.

You should consult with a cardiovascular surgeon if your doctor recommends urgent surgical or minimally invasive treatment for any disease condition(s) that impact the heart and/or vascular system, including severe coronary artery disease, valve dysfunction, aortic aneurysm, and advanced peripheral artery disease.

Cardiovascular surgeons provide treatment for coronary artery disease, heart valve disorders, congenital (heart) defects, aortic aneurysm, peripheral vascular disease, varicose veins, and heart failure requiring more advanced methods of support.

Examples of surgeries performed by cardiovascular surgeons include Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), Heart Valve Repair or Replacement, Aortic Aneurysm Repair, Minimally Invasive Heart Surgery, Vascular Bypass Surgery, and Endovascular Surgery.

Minimally invasive heart surgery is a method of performing surgery on the heart without opening up the chest to do so. Instead, surgeons can perform this type of surgery through smaller incisions (such as in the leg) to minimise additional stress and pain for the patient and to reduce recovery time.

A cardiologist's primary role is to manage patients with heart disease (through prescription medications and other interventions) and to provide non-surgical treatments. A cardiovascular surgeon is someone who intervenes (at the surgical level) and fixes (or modifies) problems with patients' hearts.
