If rhythm problems are present in patients undergoing valve surgery or coronary by-pass surgery, treatment becomes possible with the ablation technique. With this method, patients can lead a better quality of life. Surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation is called arrhythmia surgery.   <\/p>\n<p>Atrial fibrillation is the most common rhythm disorder originating in the atria of the heart. It is characterized by symptoms such as palpitations, weakness, dizziness, restlessness and shortness of breath. It can also lead to clot formation in the heart, dissemination of these clots throughout the body (stroke) and heart failure. Atrial fibrillation can occur in mitral valve disease (40-60%), aortic valve disease (10-20%) and coronary artery disease (10%). In the treatment of these diseases, surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation can be performed in combination with valve surgery or coronary bypass. Specially designed radio frequency or cryo energy catheters are used to burn or freeze the atria of the heart to normalize the abnormal rhythm. This procedure can be performed by open surgery or by closed (endoscopic or robotic surgery). The success rate is around 80%.       <\/p>\n<p><strong>Aortic Aneurysm Surgery<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Aortic Dissection Surgery (Acute &#8211; Chronic)<\/li>\n<li>Endovascular (Catheter) Aortic Aneurysm Repair<\/li>\n<li>Mitral Valve Repair<\/li>\n<li>Home Care After Open Heart Surgery<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After discharge, your doctor will prescribe medicines for you to take by mouth.
