Cardiovascular Surgery is the medical-surgical specialty responsible for treating heart and large vessel diseases through surgical procedures. It deals with conditions requiring repair or replacement of cardiac or vascular structures, in both adults and pediatric patients, in coordination with the Cardiology department.

• Coronary artery disease (bypass or myocardial revascularization surgery)
• Valve disease (repair or replacement
• Ascending aortic aneurysm
• Congenital heart defects (in children and adults
• Cardiomyopathies requiring surgical treatment
• Cardiac tumors
• Aortic root or arch diseases
• Post-infarction or infectious cardiac complications (endocarditis)

The surgical process includes a thorough preliminary evaluation, where the cardiovascular surgery and cardiology teams jointly review the case. Once surgery is indicated, the patient is prepared in a clinical setting and given detailed information about the procedure. 

Minimally invasive cardiac surgery with advanced extracorporeal circulation. Hybrid techniques (surgery + endoprosthesis). Valve-sparing surgery and mitral/aortic valve repair. Off-pump coronary revascularization surgery. Coordination with postoperative cardiac rehabilitation. Multidisciplinary team for adult and pediatric cardiac surgery.

• Complete preoperative study (echocardiography, coronary angiography, cardiac CT)
• Coronary surgery (coronary artery bypass with arterial and venous grafts)
• Valve surgery (repair or replacement with biological or mechanical valves)
• Aortic surgery and endoprosthesis placement
• Mechanical circulatory support and extracorporeal life support (ECMO)
• Postoperative monitoring with cardiology and functional tests
• Continuous care in specialized cardiac ICU
