Cardiothoracic surgery involves the surgical treatment of organs located within the thoracic cavity. This primarily includes conditions affecting the heart (heart disease), lungs (lung disease), and other pleural or mediastinal structures.

In many countries, cardiothoracic surgery is divided into two branches:

• Cardiac Surgery – focusing on the heart and great vessels
• Thoracic Surgery – focusing on the lungs, esophagus, thymus, and related areas

However, in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and several European Union nations, the specialty is generally combined.

What Is Cardiothoracic Surgery?

Cardiothoracic surgeons perform surgical procedures to treat conditions affecting the heart, esophagus, and lungs—the vital organs inside your chest. Their areas of expertise include treatment for:

• Cardiac diseases
• Thoracic or chest-related conditions
• Complex congenital heart disorders
• Advanced heart and lung failure

Our highly qualified doctors diagnose and treat the full spectrum of cardiac diseases. They work collaboratively with specialists across all departments to ensure each patient receives comprehensive and advanced care.
