It is a heart surgeon. They make a little over half a million dollars each year. They operate only on the heart.

A procedure in which an opening is made in the pericardium to drain fluid that has accumulated around the heart. A pericardial window can be made via a small incision below the end of the breastbone (sternum) or via a small incision between the ribs on the left side of the chest.

Considered one of the newest advances in heart surgery, minimally invasive coronary artery bypass heart surgery or so-called "beating heart" surgery is performed on a beating heart through small incisions made in the wall of patient’s chest. This procedure eliminates the need to use a heart-lung bypass machine during surgery and results in a shorter recovery time. St. Luke’s surgeons use an innovative suction device called the Octopus 4™, to stabilize portions of the heart while performing this surgery.

The procedure is called "liposuction," and someone who does it is a DOCTOR. :)\nI guess you could call them a "liposuctionist," but since you need a medical degree to do it, they're still a doctor.  Those who assist are usually nurses, with nursing degrees.

do you mean angioplasty? \n\nAngioplasty\n\n\nAngioplasty is a procedure done to open a partially blocked blood vessel so that blood can flow through it more easily. It is most often done on arteries that deliver blood to the heart (coronary arteries) when they are narrowed by plaque buildup (atherosclerosis) or blood clots.\n\nDuring the angioplasty procedure, a thin flexible tube (catheter) is inserted through an artery in the groin or arm and carefully guided into the artery that is narrowed. Once the tube reaches the narrowed artery, a small balloon at the end of the tube is inflated. The balloon may remain inflated from 20 seconds to 3 minutes. The pressure from the inflated balloon presses fat and calcium deposits (plaque) against the wall of the artery to improve blood flow.\n\nOnce the fat and calcium buildup is compressed, a small, expandable wire-mesh tube called a stent is sometimes inserted into the artery to hold it open. Reclosure (restenosis) of the artery is less likely to occur after angioplasty with stenting than after angioplasty \n\nbasically they insert a tub up and artery and make the artery open up and sometimes a stent is needed to keep it opened depending on how block the artery is. \n\nMy husband is a heart patient.  I saw them performing this procedure on him while they where doing it.  you can actually see the heart pumping and the flowing of the blood better after it is done.

A circulatory system (cardiovascular system in biology classes) is an organ system that moves substances to and from cells; it can also help stabilize body temperature and pH (part of homeostasis). There are three types of circulatory systems (from simplest to most complex): no circulatory system, open circulatory system, and closed circulatory system.\n\nYou could get more information from the link below...

Bypass surgery is a major operation that usually lasts between two and six hours. Pre-operative medications are often administered by mouth, muscular or subcutaneous injection, or IV. You will receive general anesthesia and be completely asleep.\nDuring bypass surgery, the chest bone is separated, and the ribs are spread apart to allow visible and physical access to the heart. In most instances, blood circulation and breathing functions will be taken over by a heart-lung machine. The cardiac surgeon uses a piece of vein or artery to form a bypass to enable blood to go around the blockage. Several blockages can be bypassed during surgery.\nGrafts:\nA graft is a blood vessel that has been created to bypass a blocked artery . It is usually taken from the internal mammary artery in the chest, the saphenous veins from the leg, or in rare instances from the radial artery in the arm. The graft is attached above and below the area in the artery where there is a blockage, so that the blood can use the new, unblocked path to flow freely to the heart.\nFrom stress tests, angiograms and intravascular ultrasounds, your doctor is able to determine exactly how much of the heart structure needs repair. Some patients undergo double, triple or even quadruple bypasses, based on their specific needs.\nDoctors have found that grafts are most successful when attached to major coronary arteries rather than smaller arterial branches. Doctors have also found better results for bypass surgery when there are discrete, localized blockages rather than a buildup of plaque throughout an artery.\nIn some cases, your blood circulation and breathing functions will be carried out by a heart-lung machine during surgery, also known as cardiopulmonary bypass. However, more coronary artery bypass surgeries are being done while the heart is still beating (called the off-pump technique). Doctors say the beating heart approach reduces the risk of neurologic injury, stroke and other complications associated with the heart-lung machine, and leads to a shorter hospital stay for patients.\nAs with any serious heart surgery, blood transfusions are necessary during bypass surgery. The blood used for your surgery will be matched by type and Rh factor, and provided by a local blood bank.\nUnless your surgery is scheduled to be performed in less than 72 hours, and if your doctor gives you permission, arrangements can be made for banking your own blood for surgery. You also may have family or friends with a compatible blood type donate blood for your surgery. The hospital, the Red Cross or blood bank can provide family members and friends with necessary information about blood donation for your surgery.\nA close family member had a quadruple by-pass,and was home in a week. He made a full  recovery.

ok not to be rude or anything but why did your brother wait so long to go get checked out?? This is the problem with a lot of people. I work with a cardiovascular surgeon and we get people here all the time who by the time they reach us there is little we can do. their primary physicians should be taking care of them from the getgo. They are then referred to a cardiologist for testing such as the stress tests, echo, and catheterizations, angiograms, carotid ultrasounds, arterial dopplers and so forth. all of this should be done before going to a surgeon that way when u go for your appt all u do at the surgeons office is schedule your surgery. Now they may be taking long because of course the results of the testing take a while. the results may be ready but they need to be dictated and transcribed before getting them to the doctor. Your brother is not the only patient that this doctor has and i know it sounds mean but he will just have to wait. Now if he is in extreme pain and i mean extreme pain he can go back to his primary dr. or the emergency room. He should have been given something for the pain such as darvocet or neurontin and some meds for the circulation in his legs. I hope this is of some help. if u have any more questions don't hesistate to email me.

The membrane covering the heart is called as pericardium. It is infact a thin layer. Its main function is to protact the heart.
