Cardiac Thoracic & Vascular Surgery (CTVS) is a highly specialized branch of surgery dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases affecting the heart, lungs, chest, and blood vessels.
The CTVS department integrates advanced technology with expert surgical care to provide both open and minimally invasive procedures, ensuring precision, safety, and faster recovery. Our multidisciplinary team works collaboratively with cardiologists, pulmonologists, and critical care specialists to deliver comprehensive cardiac and thoracic care to patients of all ages.
The main objective of Cardiac Thoracic & Vascular Surgery is to correct structural and functional abnormalities of the heart, lungs, and vascular system, thereby restoring normal circulation, breathing, and organ function.
Common Indications Include:
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Blockages in the arteries supplying the heart that may require Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG).
Heart Valve Disorders: Conditions like stenosis or regurgitation needing valve repair or replacement.
Congenital Heart Defects: Birth defects such as holes in the heart or abnormal vessel connections corrected through pediatric or adult cardiac surgery.
Thoracic Conditions: Lung cancer, pleural diseases, chest trauma, and mediastinal tumors.
Aortic Aneurysms or Dissections: Life-threatening enlargement or tear of the aorta requiring immediate surgical repair.
Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD): Blockages or narrowing in leg or neck arteries treated by vascular bypass or endovascular procedures.
The goal of these surgeries is to improve heart and lung performance, enhance quality of life, and prevent life-threatening complications.
CTVS procedures vary depending on the underlying condition and the patient’s health status.
Cardiac Surgery:
Performed under general anesthesia, cardiac surgeries such as CABG or valve replacement may use techniques like on-pump (using a heart-lung machine) or off-pump (beating-heart surgery). Minimally invasive or robotic-assisted approaches are also available to reduce recovery time and surgical trauma.
Thoracic Surgery:
Includes removal of lung tumors, lobectomy, thoracoscopic (VATS) or robotic-assisted surgery for chest conditions, and correction of deformities such as pectus excavatum.
Vascular Surgery:
Focuses on repairing or bypassing damaged or blocked arteries and veins using endovascular stenting, bypass grafting, or aneurysm repair to restore proper blood flow.
Post-operative care involves ICU monitoring, physiotherapy, pain management, and cardiac rehabilitation to ensure safe recovery and long-term success.
