There are traditional surgical techniques in cardiac surgery - coronary revascularization, valve surgery, ventricular reconstructive surgery as well as new surgical techniques - cardiac support device (CorCap), mechanical circulatory support and resynchronization therapy. Cardiac surgery has a definitive role in the treatment algorithm for chronic heart failure.
