When a revision made at the last one thousand heart surgeries performed by “Cirujanos Cardiovasculares del Noroeste” the results confirm that in coronary bypass, valve surgery, congenital heart anomalies operations and surgery for arteries and veins, the standards have been kept and even improved. The new technologies applied to an increasing number of patients like the off-pump surgery for coronaries (without the heart-lung machine with a beating heart), the operations to ablate the most common arrhythmia which is arterial fibrillation, and the new surgery to remodelate the heart in those in a failing situation (heart failure or insufficiency), have demonstrated a good outcome in patients that are suitable for these kind of operations. The whole team involved in the program has developed now a good experience in these new fields. The operation for arterial fibrillation requires a new device, radiofrequency or microwave based, that is applied to the wall of the heart atria, trying to make the arrhythmia disappear. This procedure is successful in most of the patients which return to normal heart rhythm within a few weeks and get rid of the hazard of an eventual stroke. Remodeling of the heart is a news operation to treat heart failure. Before, the only procedure left for this patients was the heart transplant. Now, in some of them, this operation can be performed, extracting some of the heart's scarred muscle that is no more useful to the function. In this manner, the heart performs better and there is no more need for the transplant.
