Frequently Asked Questions

Cardiovascular thoracic surgery is a medical specialty that focuses on surgical treatment of diseases affecting the heart, lungs, esophagus, and other organs in the chest.

Thoracic surgery treats conditions of the lungs, esophagus, and chest wall, while cardiovascular surgery focuses on the heart and blood vessels. Each specialty addresses different organs within the chest.

Thoracic and vascular surgery involves surgical procedures on the chest organs (excluding the heart) and the blood vessels throughout the body, treating conditions like lung cancer and vascular diseases.

Cardiovascular and thoracic conditions include coronary artery disease, heart valve disorders, lung cancer, esophageal cancer, chest trauma, and aortic aneurysms, often requiring specialized surgical care.

The four common types of open heart surgeries are coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), heart valve repair or replacement, heart transplant, and surgery to repair congenital heart defects. These procedures are performed to treat various severe heart conditions.
