Cardiology

The specialty that focuses on the surgical management and treatment of the cardiothoracic system is known as cardiothoracic surgery. This branch of surgery deals with surgical procedures involving the heart, lungs, esophagus, and other structures within the chest cavity. Cardiothoracic surgeons perform intricate operations such as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), heart valve repair or replacement, lung resections, and procedures to correct congenital heart defects. These surgeons are highly specialized in managing complex conditions affecting the cardiothoracic region, aiming to improve cardiac and pulmonary function and enhance patients' overall quality of life.
