The surgical separation or freeing of the heart from adhesions or scar tissue.
From Greek 'kardia' (heart) + 'lysis' (loosening/breaking). Medical term formed to describe a surgical procedure for releasing the heart from pathological attachments.
Cardiolysis is a delicate operation—surgeons must carefully peel away scar tissue that's strangling the heart without damaging the organ itself, making it one of the most technically demanding procedures.
