About Cardiac Surgeon Doctors

Conditions Treated by a Cardiac Surgeon

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) Requiring Bypass

Severe blockages in heart arteries that cannot be treated with stents alone. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) creates new routes for blood flow.

Heart Valve Disease

Damaged or diseased heart valves — mitral, aortic, tricuspid — that need surgical repair or replacement.

Congenital Heart Defects

Structural heart problems present from birth — ASD, VSD, Tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of great arteries.

Aortic Aneurysm

Abnormal bulging of the aorta (body's largest artery) that can rupture fatally if untreated.

Heart Failure Requiring Surgical Intervention

End-stage heart failure where medications alone cannot sustain adequate heart function.

Heart Surgery Recovery Tips

  • Follow cardiac rehabilitation diligently
  • Take all prescribed medications without skipping
  • Attend all follow-up appointments
  • Quit smoking permanently after heart surgery
  • Manage stress and get adequate sleep during recovery

How to Prepare for Cardiac Surgery

Before Your Visit

  • Complete all pre-operative tests — echocardiography, coronary angiography, blood tests, lung function tests
  • Stop smoking at least 2 weeks before surgery — this significantly reduces lung complications
  • Inform the surgeon about ALL medications including blood thinners, which may need to be stopped
  • Arrange for 4-6 weeks of home support post-surgery — you will need help with daily activities

During the Appointment

  • Family should be present during surgery for updates and consent decisions if needed
  • Expect ICU stay for 1-3 days post-surgery with monitoring, tubes, and ventilator
  • Early mobilisation (sitting up, gentle walking) usually starts within 24-48 hours
  • Ask about cardiac rehabilitation — structured recovery programs improve outcomes

After the Visit

  • Attend cardiac rehabilitation — supervised exercise program is proven to improve long-term survival
  • Take all prescribed medications including blood thinners, statins, and BP medications without skipping
  • Report any wound redness, fever, or chest pain immediately — these may indicate infection or complications
  • Resume driving only after surgeon's clearance — usually 4-6 weeks post-surgery

Questions to Ask Your Cardiac Surgeon

  1. 1.Is surgery the only option, or can this be treated with stents or medication?
  2. 2.What type of surgery do you recommend and why?
  3. 3.What is the success rate and risk for someone like me?
  4. 4.How many of these surgeries do you perform annually?
  5. 5.How long is the recovery period?
  6. 6.Will I need lifelong blood thinners after valve surgery?

When Should You See a Cardiac Surgeon?

A Cardiac Surgeon performs heart operations including bypass surgery, valve repair/replacement, and congenital heart defect corrections.

  • Coronary artery disease needing bypass surgery
  • Heart valve disease requiring repair or replacement
  • Congenital heart defect in children or adults
  • Aortic aneurysm needing surgical repair
  • Heart failure — transplant evaluation

You are typically referred by a cardiologist after diagnostic tests show a condition requiring surgery.
