Cardiovascular surgeons primarily focus on heart-related surgeries, while thoracic surgeons handle procedures involving the chest and its organs.
What are some common procedures performed by cardiovascular and thoracic surgeons?
These surgeons perform a wide range of procedures, including coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), heart valve repair or replacement, aortic aneurysm repair, lung resections for cancer, esophageal surgery, and surgeries to treat congenital heart defects. They also perform procedures to address thoracic trauma and conditions such as emphysema.
When is cardiovascular and thoracic surgery recommended?
Surgery is typically recommended when other treatment options, such as medications or lifestyle changes, are insufficient or when a condition is life-threatening. Patients with conditions like coronary artery disease, heart valve disorders, lung cancer, or complex chest issues may be candidates for these specialized surgical procedures.
