Cardiothoracic Surgeon

A Cardiothoracic Surgeon specialises in operating on diseases of the heart, lungs and the thoracic cage. Our Cardiothoracic Surgeon manages a wide range of problems affecting the lungs, heart and tissues inside the thoracic cage as well as illnesses that require surgical intervention.

Prominent illnesses that require the intervention of a Cardiothoracic Surgeon include coronary artery bypass, valvular heart disease repair, VATS - Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery for lung disease, especially lung cancer and lung resection. Sometimes, surgical intervention is also needed for diagnosis of the disease process that affects the organs in the chest.
