Types of Operation
There are many types of cardiac operation. We have placed these in three categories; coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), aortic valve replacement (AVR) and other. All CABG operations are included in the CABG category except those that are part of a more complex operation, such as a heart valve replacement, or are repeat operations in someone who has previously had a cardiac operation. All AVR operations are included in the AVR category except those that are part of a more complex operation, such as replacement of a second heart valve, or are repeat operations in someone who has previously had a cardiac operation. These more complex operations are included in the other category. Other operations include:
- Surgery on the mitral and/or tricuspid valves.
- Valve surgery associated with CABG.
- CABG in patients who have had a previous cardiac operation.
- CABG associated with cardiac aneurysm repair.
- Closure of holes in the heart.
- Removal of tumours from the heart.
- Operations to correct congenital abnormalities of the heart in adults.
- Operations on the thoracic aorta.
There are so many others, e.g Norwood operation in congenital disease of Left Ventricle.
Prosthetic operation: e.g Aortic Valvular disease, PPM etc.

Coronary artery bypass surgery, valve repair (tricuspid or mitral), cardiac window, VAD placement, pacemaker (ICD or BiV) placement, valve transplant (tricuspid or mitral), heart transplant...
The list goes on and on, these are just a few to get you started. I can give you more if you are looking for a solution to a specific problem.
