Cardiac surgery is a medical speciality concerned with the surgical treatment of heart and thoracic aorta diseases. The history of modern cardiac surgery, which began at the end of the nineteenth century, can be comprehended. Since then, cardiac surgery has evolved thanks to the efforts of many committed surgeons, who are now able to treat a wide range of heart pathologies. This process is still in progress today. Cardiac surgery has a significant level of operational and perioperative risk, necessitating the use of highly trained personnel and sophisticated equipment.
Cardiovascular surgery, often known as heart surgery or cardiac surgery, refers to any surgical treatment involving the heart or the blood arteries that transport blood to and from the heart. Patients with cardiac disease, who have had a heart attack, stroke, or blood clot, as well as those who are at high risk of developing these disorders, are candidates for these operations. While cardiovascular surgery isn't always required to treat heart problems, doctors may recommend it for a variety of reasons, including treating or preventing heart attacks and blood clots, treating or preventing irregular heartbeats, opening blocked or narrowed arteries, repairing congenital heart problems, and replacing damaged or diseased heart valves. Some cardiovascular diseases necessitate open surgery, while many others can be managed using catheters and robotics.
