動脈瘤修補術 (Aneurysm Repair)

Aneurysm repair is a critical surgical procedure performed to treat an aneurysm, which is a weakened, bulging area in the wall of a blood vessel. Aneurysms can occur anywhere in the body, but they are most common and dangerous in the aorta (the body's main artery) or the brain. If an aneurysm continues to grow, the vessel wall becomes increasingly thin and risks rupturing, which causes massive internal bleeding and is often fatal. The goal of aneurysm repair is to reinforce the weakened artery, prevent rupture, and restore normal, safe blood flow.

心臟瓣膜置換術 (Heart Valve Replacement)

Heart valve replacement is a major surgical procedure performed to replace one or more of the heart's four valves (aortic, mitral, tricuspid, or pulmonary) that are diseased or damaged. Healthy valves ensure that blood flows in the correct direction through the heart. When a valve fails to open fully (stenosis) or close tightly (regurgitation), the heart must work harder to pump blood, leading to symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, and potentially heart failure. Valve replacement restores normal blood flow, relieves symptoms, and prolongs life. The replacement valve can be mechanical (made of durable materials like carbon and titanium) or biological (made from animal tissue, such as pig or cow, or human tissue).

心臟起搏器植入術 (Pacemaker Insertion)

A pacemaker insertion is a surgical procedure to implant a small electronic device, known as a pacemaker, into the chest. This device helps regulate the heart's electrical system, ensuring it beats at a normal, healthy rate. It is primarily used to treat arrhythmias—conditions where the heart beats too slowly (bradycardia), too fast, or irregularly. By sending low-energy electrical pulses to the heart muscle, a pacemaker prevents dangerous drops in heart rate, alleviating symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, fainting, and shortness of breath, and significantly improving the patient's quality of life.

血管成形術及支架植入 (通波仔) (Angioplasty & Stenting)

Angioplasty and stenting is a minimally invasive procedure used to open clogged or narrowed arteries, most commonly in the heart (coronary arteries). The procedure is often performed to treat conditions like angina (chest pain) or during a heart attack to quickly restore blood flow to the heart muscle. By widening the blocked artery and inserting a tiny wire mesh tube (stent) to keep it open, angioplasty helps alleviate symptoms and reduces the risk of future cardiovascular events. It is a life-saving intervention that significantly improves blood circulation without the need for open-heart surgery.

冠狀動脈搭橋手術 (Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG))

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), commonly known as bypass surgery, is a major surgical procedure used to treat severe coronary artery disease (CAD). CAD occurs when the coronary arteries, which supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle, become narrowed or blocked by a buildup of fatty plaque (atherosclerosis). This restricts blood flow, leading to chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, and a high risk of a heart attack. CABG aims to restore normal blood flow to the heart muscle by creating a new path (a bypass) around the blocked or narrowed sections of the artery. It is a life-saving procedure that relieves symptoms, improves heart function, and significantly reduces the risk of future heart attacks.
