What Are the Different Types of Heart Surgery?
                     What Are the Different 
Types of Heart Surgery?
An Overview
Today, heart disease is the most common health problem. According 
to a recent survey report, it is one of the leading causes of death. 
Well, having a healthy lifestyle is one of the best ways to keep 
yourself healthy. Apart from this, a heart surgery can treat major 
heart problems. 
Certainly, not all heart-related problems require surgery. Heart 
surgery often addresses problems like heart failure, plaque build-up, 
faulty heart valves, and more. In fact, doctors use 
cerebral protection devices to prevent the brain from a stroke during 
cardiovascular procedures. 
Let’s Dive Into Some Different 
Types of Heart Surgery:
 Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)
 Heart Valve Repair Or Replacement
 Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD)
 Maze Surgery
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting 
(CABG)
Well, this is the most common type of heart 
surgery in which the surgeon picks a 
healthy artery and connects it to supply the 
blood blocked by a coronary artery. 
This is also known as heart bypass surgery 
or coronary bypass surgery.
Heart Valve Repair Or 
Replacement
In this surgery, the surgeon either 
replaces or repairs the heart valve with 
a biological or an artificial valve. 
This is also one of the common heart 
surgery.
Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD)
In simple terms, this surgery involves the 
insertion of a pacemaker. 
This is the first treatment option for 
Arrhythmia, in which the heart beats too 
slow, too fast, or with an irregular 
rhythm. A pacemaker restores a normal 
heart rhythm. 
Maze Surgery
In this type of surgery, the surgeon creates 
a pattern of scar tissue to redirect the 
electrical signals. 
Maze surgery is another treatment option 
for serious arrhythmia.
