Surgical reconstruction, reshaping, or repair of the heart or cardiac tissue.
From Greek 'kardia' (heart) + 'plasty' (molding, surgical reconstruction). This term emerged with modern cardiac surgery in the 20th century.
Cardioplasty represents one of medicine's greatest achievements—surgeons can now reshape failing hearts, rebuild valves, and even perform partial transplants that would have been impossible just decades ago.
