Heart Transplant : Replaces a diseased heart with a healthy donor heart. This surgery is a life-saving option for patients with end-stage heart failure when other treatments aren't effective.

Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) implantation : Implants a mechanical pump to assist a failing left ventricle (the heart's main pumping chamber). LVADs can act as a bridge to transplant, supporting patients until a donor heart becomes available, or as destination therapy for those not eligible for transplant.

Aortic Aneurysm Surgery : Repairs a weakened or bulging section (aneurysm) in the aorta, the major artery leaving the heart. This surgery prevents potential rupture and life-threatening bleeding.

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) : Creates bypass grafts using healthy blood vessels from elsewhere in the body to detour blockages in coronary arteries, improving blood flow to the heart muscle.

Valve Replacement and Repair : ย Addresses damaged heart valves. Surgeons can either repair a malfunctioning valve or replace it with a prosthetic valve to restore proper blood flow through the heart chambers.

Peripheral Vascular Surgery : Encompasses various procedures to treat blood vessel problems outside the heart. This can include:

Carotid artery surgery : Treats narrowed carotid arteries in the neck to prevent stroke.

Varicose vein surgery : Removes or repairs varicose veins, twisted and enlarged veins in the legs that can cause pain, swelling, and other complications.

Bypass surgery : Creates bypass grafts to reroute blood flow around blocked arteries in the legs or feet.

Angioplasty and stenting : Opens narrowed leg arteries using a balloon and stent to improve blood flow.
