About Adult Cardiac Surgery
Adult cardiac surgery treats heart disease in adults with operations such as coronary bypass, valve repair or replacement and aortic surgery. A heart team usually decides between surgery, stents and medicines.
Recovery involves a hospital stay of around a week and cardiac rehabilitation. Stopping smoking and controlling sugar and blood pressure protect the results.
