 * Different Types of Heart Surgery **

There are different types of cardiac surgery but the main one that i will talk about are open-heart surgery, modern beating-heart surgery, minimally invasive surgery, and pediatric cardiovascular surgery.

=Open Heart Surgery =

Any type of surgery in the heart where the chest has to be open. It is referred to traditional heart surgery.  It requires large openings/ cuts not like nowadays that use small cuts. A heart-lung machine is during open heart surgery.When the surgen is performing surgery on heart the machine send oxygen blood to the brain and other organs of the body.



=Modern Beating-Heart Surgery =

Modern Beating-Heart Surgery started in in the 1990's. It is also called Beating Heart Bypass surgery. During this surgery the heart is still beating; just like it says in the name. While the heart is beating the heat is stabilized in order to get to the blockage. While performing this surgery surgens use a special machine which is called Heart-lung machine which "[...] would send oxygen to the blood [...] and keep blood flowing throughout the body [...]" (Barter).

"The United States has performed over 1000 by pass procedures using this technique with excellent results." (Tayfun)



=Minimally Invasive Surgery =

In this type of surgery the surgens use a big machine. The machine is referred to a robot because its the one doing the work, but the surgen is in control. The incisons or cuts made with this machine are made much smaller.
