Open-Heart Surgery

Any surgery performed on the heart muscle, valves, arteries, or the aorta and other large arteries connected to the heart is considered heart surgery.

During "open heart surgery," you are connected to a heart-lung bypass machine, also known as a bypass pump.

While you are connected to this machine, your heart stops.

While your heart is stopped for surgery, this machine performs the functions of your heart and lungs. The machine oxygenates your blood, circulates it through your body, and removes carbon dioxide.

The following are examples of common types of open-heart surgery:

Cardiovascular bypass surgery (coronary artery bypass graft — CABG)

Heart valve replacement

Surgery to correct a birth defect in the heart.
