Open heart surgery is mainly done in three ways.
1. On-pump surgery: In this type of surgery, the blood supply to the heart and the heartbeat are stopped. Blood is pumped through the body by the Heart-Lung machine.
2. Off-Pump or Beating Heart Surgery: In this type of surgery, the heart rate is reduced by drugs or other means.
3. Robot-assisted surgery: In this type of surgery, a robot’s mechanical arm is used. The doctor performs the surgery precisely by watching the three-dimensional view on the computer.
