Whether you need a routine diagnostic test or a sophisticated procedure like coronary bypass or valve replacement, Medical Park ensures precise treatment, comfort, and complete care at every step.

What Is Cardiovascular Surgery?

Cardiovascular surgery involves operations to treat diseases of the heart and blood vessels. Procedures may repair or replace damaged structures, restore healthy blood flow, and improve cardiovascular function.

The field covers cardiac surgery, vascular surgery, and cardiothoracic surgery. Our specialists use both traditional open-heart techniques and minimally invasive approaches to reduce risks and speed recovery.

Conditions Treated by Cardiovascular Surgery

Cardiovascular surgery is often recommended for serious or chronic heart and vascular conditions, including:

• Coronary artery disease

• Heart valve disorders (aortic, mitral, tricuspid, pulmonary)

• Congenital heart defects

• Aortic aneurysms

• Heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias)

• Peripheral vascular disease

• Heart failure

• Cardiac tumors

Early surgical intervention can prevent complications such as heart attacks, strokes, or heart failure.

Criteria for Heart Surgery

Not all heart conditions require surgery. Our cardiologists and cardiac surgeons evaluate:

• Severity and progression of the disease

• Patient’s age and overall health

• Presence of other chronic conditions

• Effectiveness of previous treatments

• Test results and imaging findings

A thorough preoperative assessment ensures a personalized surgical plan for each patient.

Tests and Procedures at Medical Park

We provide a full spectrum of cardiac diagnostic tests and surgical procedures using state-of-the-art technology:

• CGM Test: Monitors blood sugar in cardiac patients, particularly those with diabetes, to manage metabolic risks before and after surgery.
• ABI Test: Measures blood flow to detect peripheral artery disease (PAD).
• Radial Angiography: Minimally invasive imaging through the wrist, reducing bleeding risk and recovery time.
• Coronary Angiography: Visualizes coronary arteries to identify blockages or narrowing.
• Coronary Bypass Surgery: Creates new pathways around blocked arteries to restore heart blood flow.
• Heart Valve Repair/Replacement: Restores or replaces malfunctioning valves with biological or mechanical implants.
• Aortic Aneurysm Surgery: Repairs dangerous bulges in the aorta to prevent rupture.
• Left Ventricular Aneurysm Repair: Removes or reinforces weakened sections of the left ventricle.
• Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery: Small-incision procedures using video-assisted tools for valves or bypass operations.
• Cardiac Tumor Removal: Excises benign or malignant tumors within the heart.
• Peripheral Vascular Surgery & Varicose Veins Treatment: Restores blood flow and treats vascular conditions outside the heart, reducing stroke risk and improving circulation.

How Heart Surgery Is Performed

Heart surgery may be traditional or minimally invasive, depending on the condition. The general process includes:

1. Anesthesia and Preparation: Patient is placed under general anesthesia.

2. Surgical Access: Incision in the chest or keyhole technique for less invasive surgery.

3. Procedure Execution: Surgeons perform corrections such as bypass or valve repair.

4. Monitoring and Closure: Heart function is closely monitored, and incisions are closed.

5. Post-Operative Care: Patients recover in the intensive care unit under specialist supervision.

Recovery and Post-Operative Care

Recovery is gradual and depends on the type of surgery and patient health. Medical Park provides:

• Intensive care monitoring

• Pain management and medications

• Physiotherapy and cardiac rehabilitation

• Nutritional and lifestyle guidance

• Follow-up consultations with specialists

Our goal is to help patients regain strength, minimize complications, and return to daily life with improved heart function.
