Cardiovascular Surgery, also known as cardiothoracic surgery, is a type of surgery performed on the heart and/or lungs to treat a variety of conditions that affect the cardiovascular system. This type of surgery can take place on an emergency basis or as planned procedures. It is commonly used to treat coronary artery disease, valve disease, aneurysms, congenital heart defects, or other heart diseases or conditions. Cardiovascular surgery is a very complex, delicate procedure that requires an experienced, well-trained cardiothoracic surgeon. The outcome of cardiovascular surgery can have a significant impact on a patient's life, as the procedure may significantly improve quality of life and reduce the risk of future heart-related issues.
