2. Atrioventricular septal defect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrioventricular_septal_defect

   If surgery is not required immediately after birth, the newborn will be closely monitored for the next several months, and the operation held-off until the first signs of lung distress or heart failure. This gives the infant time to grow, increasing the size of, and thereby the ease of operation on, the heart, as well as the ease of recovery.

3. Coronary artery bypass surgery - Wikipedia

   The first uses a cardiopulmonary bypass machine, a machine which takes over the functions of the heart and lungs during surgery by circulating blood and oxygen. With the heart in cardioplegic arrest, harvested arteries and veins are used to connect across problematic regions—a construction known as surgical anastomosis.

4. Left atrial appendage occlusion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_atrial_appendage...

   The implant is introduced into the right atrium and is then passed into the left atrium through a hole in the septum that divides the two atria of the heart. [14] This small hole in the septum usually disappear within six months. [15] [16] Once the position is confirmed, the implant is released and is left permanently fixed in the heart. The ...

5. Cardiac surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_surgery

   Cardiac surgery, or cardiovascular surgery, is surgery on the heart or great vessels performed by cardiac surgeons.It is often used to treat complications of ischemic heart disease (for example, with coronary artery bypass grafting); to correct congenital heart disease; or to treat valvular heart disease from various causes, including endocarditis, rheumatic heart disease, [1] and ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimally_invasive_direct...

   Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) is a surgical treatment for coronary heart disease that is a less invasive method of coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). [1] MIDCAB gains surgical access to the heart with a smaller incision than other types of CABG.

8. Atrial septal defect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrial_septal_defect

   As a group, atrial septal defects are detected in one child per 1500 live births. PFOs are quite common (appearing in 10–20% of adults), but when asymptomatic go undiagnosed. ASDs make up 30 to 40% of all congenital heart diseases that are seen in adults. [58] The ostium secundum atrial septal defect accounts for 7% of all congenital heart ...

9. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcatheter_aortic_valve...

   Once the wire is across, a large tube is used to place the transcatheter heart valve through the femoral vein and inferior vena cava into the aorta and from there the heart. This otherwise resembles the transfemoral approach. Afterwards, the hole in the aorta is closed with a self-collapsing nitinol device designed to close holes in the heart ...
