Cardiothoracic surgery is a type of surgery that focuses on the organs that make up the thoracic cavity. This includes the heart, lungs, esophagus, and other structures in the chest. Cardiothoracic surgeons employ a variety of surgical procedures to diagnose and treat conditions in the thoracic cavity including coronary artery bypass surgery, valve repair or replacement, aortic aneurysm repair, lung resection surgery, and fetal surgery. Cardiothoracic surgery improves the quality of life of patients suffering from thoracic conditions and provides a viable solution for many diseases that were previously considered untreatable.
