Cardiovascular Surgery

Cardiovascular surgery treats diseases and conditions of the heart and the blood vessels of the entire body. Common cardiovascular procedures include coronary bypass surgery, aortic or mitral valve replacement or repair, and aneurysm repair. Cardiovascular surgery methods have advanced substantially since 1896, when Dr. Ludwig Rein of Germany performed the first successful cardiac surgery by ligation of a stab wound to the heart accessed through a thoracotomy. Since the 1990s, open heart surgery has been performed using cardiopulmonary bypass that provides oxygen to the body while the heart is steadied and emptied of its blood, allowing for more complicated and protracted surgeries to be performed.
