When is it needed?

• Severe or multiple arterial blockages
• Failure to respond to drug therapy or catheterization
• Persistent symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath

Impact on the patient:

The procedure improves blood flow to the heart muscle, reduces symptoms significantly, enhances daily activity levels, and lowers the risk of future cardiac events.

 

. Heart Valve Surgery

Performed to treat valve disorders such as narrowing or leakage, which can affect the heart’s ability to pump blood efficiently.

When is intervention required?

• Symptoms like shortness of breath or fatigue
• Progressive decline in heart function
• Ineffectiveness of medical treatment

Impact on the patient:

Improves heart function, relieves symptoms, and allows patients to gradually return to normal daily activities with better overall quality of life.

 

. Aortic Surgery

Used to treat conditions affecting the aorta, such as dilation or structural weakness.

When is it necessary?

• In cases with potential for serious complications

Impact on the patient:

Timely intervention helps prevent life-threatening complications and stabilizes the patient’s condition, ensuring long-term safety.

 

. Congenital Heart Surgery

Includes surgical correction of structural heart defects present from birth, in both children and adults.

When is surgery required?

• When the defect affects growth or physical activity
• When blood flow inside the heart is abnormal
• To prevent future complications

Impact on the patient:

Restores normal heart function, supports healthy development in children, and enables patients to lead a more active and normal life.

 

. Thoracic Surgery

Covers surgical treatment of lung diseases and chest conditions, including tumors.
