Care and Treatment

Treatments

The heart surgery clinic at Stanford offers the following treatments and procedures:

Aortic valve surgery

Surgery to repair or replace an aortic valve that is not working correctly.

Arrhythmia surgery

A surgical procedure to correct irregular heart rhythms such as atrial fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia.

Bloodless Cardiac Surgery

Bloodless surgery, also known as transfusion-free surgery, is a technique that uses no blood products or transfusions during surgery.

Congenital heart surgery

Corrective surgery to fix or treat a genetic heart defect.

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery

A surgical procedure used in which the blocked portion of the coronary artery is bypassed with another piece of blood vessel.

Heart surgery

Heart surgery is performed to correct problems in the heart valves and arteries, restore blood flow, or replace a diseased heart altogether.

Hybrid coronary revascularization

Hybrid coronary revascularization is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat coronary artery disease. Because it is minimally invasive, open heart surgery is not necessary.

Left ventricular remodeling/surgical ventricular restoration

A technique that provides the heart with a more normal shape after a heart attack, allowing it to pump blood more efficiently.

Mechanical circulatory support (MCS)

A mechanical circulatory support device helps your heart function while you wait for a heart transplant.

Minimally invasive heart surgery

Surgeons make tiny chest incisions to access your heart through openings between the ribs.ÌýThis approach is less invasive than traditional open heart surgery.

Myectomy/myotomyÌý

A surgical treatment option that removes a portion of the enlarged heart wall.

Natural heart valve repair

This new technique preserves as much of the natural heart structure as possible and avoids the need for artificial devices.

Transmyocardial revascularization (TMR)

A procedure used to relieve severe angina or chest pain in patients who aren't candidates for bypass surgery or angioplasty.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)

A less invasive procedure for patients with severe aortic stenosis, using an artificial aortic valve.

Valvular surgery

Heart valve surgery used to repair or replace diseased heart valves.
