Heart Surgery at NMC Specialty Hospital, Dubai

Heart-related problems do not always require surgery. Sometimes they can be addressed with lifestyle changes, medications, or nonsurgical procedures. For example, catheter ablation uses energy to make small scars in your heart tissue to prevent abnormal electrical signals from moving through your heart. Coronary angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure in which a stent is inserted into a narrowed or blocked coronary artery to hold it open. Nonetheless, surgery is often needed to address problems such as heart failure, plaque buildup that partially or totally blocks blood flow in a coronary artery, faulty heart valves, dilated or diseased major blood vessels (such as the aorta), and abnormal heart rhythms.

What are some types of heart surgery?

There are many types of heart surgery. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, which is part of the National Institutes of Health, lists the following as among the most common coronary surgical procedures.

  • Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). In CABG — the most common type of heart surgery — the surgeon takes a healthy artery or vein from elsewhere in your body and connects it to supply blood past the blocked coronary artery. The grafted artery or vein bypasses the blocked portion of the coronary artery, creating a new path for blood to flow to the heart muscle. Often, this is done for more than one coronary artery during the same surgery. CABG is sometimes referred to as heart bypass or coronary artery bypass surgery.
  • Heart valve repair or replacement. Surgeons either repair the valve or replace it with an artificial valve or with a biological valve made from pig, cow, or human heart tissue. One repair option is to insert a catheter through a large blood vessel, guide it to the heart, and inflate and deflate a small balloon at the tip of the catheter to widen a narrow valve.
  • Insertion of a pacemaker or an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). Medicine is usually the first treatment option for arrhythmia, a condition in which the heart beats too fast, too slow or with an irregular rhythm. If medication does not work, a surgeon may implant a pacemaker under the skin of the chest or abdomen, with wires that connect it to the heart chambers. The device uses electrical pulses to control the heart rhythm when a sensor detects that it is abnormal. An ICD works similarly, but it sends an electric shock to restore a normal rhythm when it detects a dangerous arrhythmia.
  • Maze surgery. The surgeon creates a pattern of scar tissue within the upper chambers of the heart to redirect electrical signals along a controlled path to the lower heart chambers. The surgery blocks the stray electrical signals that cause atrial fibrillation — the most common type of serious arrhythmia.
  • Aneurysm repair. A weak section of the artery or heart wall is replaced with a patch or graft to repair a balloon-like bulge in the artery or wall of the heart muscle.
  • Heart transplant. The diseased heart is removed and replaced with a healthy heart from a deceased donor.
  • Insertion of a ventricular assist device (VAD) or total artificial heart (TAH). A VAD is a mechanical pump that supports heart function and blood flow. A TAH replaces the two lower chambers of the heart.

In addition to these surgeries, a minimally invasive alternative to open-heart surgery that is becoming more common is transcatheter structural heart surgery. This involves guiding a long, thin, flexible tube called a catheter to your heart through blood vessels that can be accessed from the groin, thigh, abdomen, chest, neck, or collarbone. A small incision is necessary. This type of surgery includes transcatheter aortic valve implantation to replace a faulty aortic valve with a valve made from animal tissue, MitraClip® placement for mitral valve abnormalities, and WATCHMAN® placement for nonvalvular atrial fibrillation patients.

What you need to know about Heart Surgery in Dubai

Heart surgery is any type of surgery performed to correct problems with the heart if other treatments cannot be used or have not worked. It can be done for both children and adults. Numerous problems can be addressed with heart surgery, including amyloidosis, arrhythmia, cardiomyopathy, aortic disease, coronary artery disease, heart failure, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, congenital heart disease, vulvar heart disease, and pericarditis.

Your doctor may use heart surgery to:

  • Replace or repair heart valves that don't work well

  • Treat heart failure and coronary heart disease (CHD)

  • Place medical devices to help support heart function 

  • Control abnormal heart rhythms

  • Replace a damaged heart with a healthy one from a donor.

What's the Recovery Time?

The recuperation duration, a vital part of the Heart Surgery, can alter based on factors like the patient's age, overall health, and the kind of operation they underwent. The time to heal can differ, contingent on the nature of your cardiac operation and the surgical method employed. Your medical practitioner will inform you when you can recommence your routine activities. Complete recovery may necessitate anywhere from 6 to 12 weeks or even longer. Typically, open-heart procedures necessitate an extended recuperation duration.

Throughout this healing phase, it's suggested for patients to slowly augment their physical exertion while simultaneously adhering to a cardiac-friendly diet. It's absolutely imperative for patients to show up for frequent follow-up check-ups to track their progress, tweak medications if required, and to immediately address any possible issues or complications.

What's the Success Rate?

The effectiveness of a Heart Surgery within Dubai commonly relies on multiple factors, such as the patient's health prior to the surgery, the nature and intricacy of the cardiac ailment, and the surgeon's skill level. It is crucial to understand that success is gauged not merely by the immediate results post-procedure, but also by long-term survival, enhancement of life quality, and alleviation of symptoms. 

Heart surgeries frequently yield outstanding outcomes and are generally considered safe. Patients need to bear in mind that the procedure is typically part of a comprehensive treatment strategy. Ongoing medication, a balanced diet, consistent physical activity, and lifestyle changes are all fundamental to maintaining the long-term benefits and success of the surgery. Regular health screenings and discussions with your physician are also critical to monitor improvement and identify any potential issues early on.
