Heart Surgery | Seattle Childrens Hospital
Posted: Published on June 18th, 2018
Heart Surgery Surgery is used to treat heart defects. Procedures range from the simple, such as closing a hole or tying off a vessel, to the complex, such as switching vessels or repairing heart valves. Many heart surgeries are designed to restore the hearts circulation to as normal a level as possible so a child can live a long and active life. Babies born with complex heart defects need various surgeries, sometimes over several years, for their heart to work the best that it can. The pediatric heart surgeons at Seattle Childrens use the most advanced techniques and achieve results that are among the best in the nation. Many heart defects can be fixed with cardiac catheterization procedures, but some conditions still require surgery. Heart operations are commonly used to close holes in the heart. Other less common surgeries include: Some children are born with complex heart defects that prevent 1 of the hearts 2 pumping chambers (ventricles) from working (single ventricle defect). These children require a series of surgeries over several years to help their heart pump well enough. Children with single ventricle defects receive compassionate, comprehensive care through our Single Ventricle Program. Our pediatric heart surgeons are experts … Continue reading

Cardiac Surgery – University of Ottawa Heart Institute
Posted: Published on June 16th, 2018
The Heart Institute is an international leader in cardiac surgery. We have among the lowest mortality rates and largest patient volumes throughout North America, particularly for high-risk patients. Our Cardiac Surgery program provides a model of surgical performance and expertise in which patient diagnosis, assessment, treatment, and follow-up involve a concerted team approach. Through a tiny incision between the ribs, multiple healthy blood vessels are grafted onto arteries to bypass coronary blockages. The operation is conducted while the heart is beating. The standard open-heart method involves stopping the heart, using a heart-lung machine, and breaking the breastbone to open the chest. Only a few sites in North America perform this procedure, which requires specialized tools and training. We specialize in heart valve surgical techniques--for reconstruction of valves instead of replacement--including mitral and aortic valve repair. Surgeons also perform complex aortic valve procedures using minimally invasive surgical techniques. The comprehensive Valve Surgery Clinic follows patients after surgery to ensure thorough follow-up care. For patients suffering from aortic stenosis (narrowing of the aortic valve) who are not good candidates for surgery, TAVI offers a minimally invasive option. Our medical team combines the exceptional skills of a surgeon and an interventional cardiologist in … Continue reading

Guidelines for Standards in Cardiac Surgery
Posted: Published on April 16th, 2018
The following statement is an updated version of guidelines that were first published by the American College of Surgeons in 1991. The revised statement was developed by the Advisory Council for Cardiothoracic Surgery and approved by the College's Board of Regents in October 1996. This report provides guidelines to be used by hospital executives and appropriate medical staff only. It places no value judgment on existing successful programs or on the treatment of individual patients. While current standards of practice form the basis of this report, it is recognized that large programs in cardiac surgery grow from smaller ones. Hospitals and their staffs should exercise their own discretion in approving programs based on local need and the responsibility for achieving a good standard of practice. While attention is directed primarily to open-heart surgery, the proposed standards should apply to closed-heart operations as well as to operations on the great vessels within the chest. In borderline situations, in which the number of open-heart operations does not meet the established guidelines, the American College of Surgeons recommends the use of peer review. Specification of the qualifications for cardiac surgeons in an established practice is beyond the scope of these guidelines. Surgeons practicing … Continue reading
