Conditions & procedures
Areas of expertise
Cardiovascular surgery covers the heart, its valves, its arteries and the body's main artery, the aorta. Explore each area below.
- 01
Coronary surgery restores blood flow to the heart muscle when the arteries that supply it (the coronary arteries) become narrowed or blocked.
Procedures involved
- Coronary artery bypass graft, on a beating heart, with CPB (cardiopulmonary bypass)
- 02
The heart valves direct blood in the right direction. When they become damaged (narrowing or leakage), surgery can repair or replace them.
Procedures involved
- Mitral valve surgery
- Aortic valve surgery
- Tricuspid valve surgery
- Endocarditis
- Valve repair (valvuloplasty)
- Prosthetic valve thrombosis or dehiscence
- 03
The aorta is the body's largest artery: it carries blood from the heart to the whole body. Its dilation or weakening may require surgery.
Procedures involved
- Aortic dissection
- Aortic aneurysm
- 04
Interventional cardiology makes it possible to diagnose and treat certain heart conditions via a catheter (a thin tube inserted into an artery), without open-heart surgery.
Procedures involved
- TAVI (percutaneous aortic valve implantation)
- Coronary angiography
- Coronary angioplasty
- 05
Some heart abnormalities are present from birth. Their surgical correction restores blood circulation as close to normal as possible.
Procedures involved
- Atrial septal defect (ASD)
- Ventricular septal defect (VSD)
- Coarctation of the aorta
- 06
The heart can be the site of tumours (most often benign) or cysts. Their surgical removal protects the heart's proper functioning.
Procedures involved
- Resection of cardiac tumours
- Hydatid cyst of the heart
- Aortic thrombosis
