Understanding Cardiothoracic Surgery

Cardiothoracic surgery is a specialised field that focuses on surgical treatment of diseases involving the heart, lungs, and chest cavity. These procedures may be required when medical therapy alone is insufficient to manage the condition or when structural correction is necessary to restore function and improve survival.

Surgery may be performed using conventional open techniques or minimally invasive approaches, depending on the condition, complexity, and patient suitability.

Our Cardiothoracic Surgery team manages a wide range of cardiac and thoracic conditions, including:

Heart Conditions

Coronary artery disease
Heart valve diseases (mitral, aortic, tricuspid)

Heart rhythm disorders requiring surgical intervention

Chest & Lung Conditions
