Open Heart Surgery
Welcome to the Shick Heart Center

Open Heart Surgery
Many different types of open heart surgeries may be performed on the heart.  The most common are coronary bypass surgery, valve replacement / repair or aneurysm repairs.  All of these surgeries involve a mid-chest incision and exposure of the heart.  The specialized physician who performs this operation is called a Cardiothorasic surgeon.
