The types of cardiac surgery are as follows:
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG): The most frequent type of heart surgery, CABG is passing blood past the blocked coronary artery by means of a healthy vein or artery from another area of your body.
Heart valve repair or replacement: Surgeons have two options: they can fix the valve completely, or they can replace it with a biological valve made from the heart tissue of a pig, a cow, or a human.
Implantation of a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD): If medicine is not working, a surgeon may place a pacemaker beneath the skin of the chest or abdomen. This device has cables linking it to the heart chambers. The gadget employs electrical pulses to control the heartbeat when a sensor detects an irregular heartbeat.
