The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has affected a large population across the world. Patients with cardiovascular disease have increased morbidity and mortality due to coronavirus disease. The burden over the health care system has to be reduced in this global pandemic to provide optimal care of patients with COVID-19, as well not compromising those who are in need of emergent cardiovascular care.
There is a very limited data published defining which cardiovascular procedures are to be performed or to be deferred in the COVID-19 pandemic. In this article, we have reviewed a few published guidelines regarding cardiovascular surgery in COVID-19 pandemics.
After reviewing a few available guidelines regarding cardiovascular surgery in COVID-19, we conclude to perform only those surgeries which cannot be deferred to a certain period of time, to reduce the burden of the health care system of the country, provide optimal care to patients with COVID-19, and to protect health care workers and cardiovascular patients from COVID-19.
冠状病毒病（COVID-19）已影响全球大量人口。心血管疾病患者因冠状病毒病而发病率和死亡率增加。在这场全球大流行中，必须减轻医疗保健系统的负担，以便为COVID-19患者提供最佳护理，同时也不影响那些需要紧急心血管护理的患者。
关于在COVID-19大流行期间应进行或推迟哪些心血管手术的数据非常有限。在本文中，我们回顾了一些关于COVID-19大流行期间心血管手术的已发表指南。
在回顾了一些关于COVID-19期间心血管手术的现有指南后，我们得出结论，仅进行那些不能推迟到特定时间段的手术，以减轻该国医疗保健系统的负担，为COVID-19患者提供最佳护理，并保护医护人员和心血管疾病患者免受COVID-19感染。
