Cardioplasty

Cardioplasty is a surgical operation performed to treat heart disease. It involves replacing a damaged or diseased section of the heart with a new, artificial one.

Cardioplasty can be performed both for congenital heart defects and acquired diseases. For example, with coronary heart disease, when the heart does not receive enough oxygen due to vasoconstriction.

The operation is performed in the operating room under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes a small incision in the patient's chest, then removes the affected part of the heart and replaces it with a new artificial part. The surgeon then repairs the blood vessels and closes the incision.

After the operation, the patient remains in the hospital under the supervision of doctors for several days. He can then return to normal activities, but must follow the doctor's recommendations to take medications and limit physical activity.

In some cases, cardioplasty can improve the patient's quality of life and reduce the risk of complications. However, like any surgery, it has its risks and can cause complications such as bleeding, infection or damage to other organs. Therefore, cardioplasty is performed only in cases where other treatment methods are ineffective or impossible.
