About

Cardiothoracic surgery is a specialized field of surgery focused on the organs within the thorax (chest), including the heart, lungs, and esophagus. This type of surgery is performed to treat a wide range of conditions such as coronary artery disease, heart valve disorders, lung cancer, and esophageal cancer. 

Cardiothoracic surgeons are highly trained professionals who perform complex procedures like coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), heart valve repair or replacement, and lung resections. These surgeries can be life-saving and significantly improve the quality of life for patients with severe cardiothoracic conditions.

 In hospitals, cardiothoracic surgery is typically carried out in well-equipped operating rooms with advanced technology to monitor and support the patient's vital functions during the procedure. The goal is to restore normal function and improve the patient's overall health and longevity.
