Comprehensive Heart and Lung Care
Cardiothoracic surgery is a specialized field focusing on surgeries involving the heart, lungs, and
other chest organs. These surgeries are often necessary to treat complex conditions affecting the
cardiovascular and respiratory systems. The goal is to restore health, alleviate symptoms, and improve
quality of life.
Conditions Treated by Cardiothoracic Surgery:
- Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Blockages in the heart’s blood vessels that may require bypass surgery.
- Heart Valve Disorders: Conditions like aortic stenosis, mitral valve prolapse, or heart valve infections needing repair or replacement.
- Aortic Aneurysms: Weak areas in the aorta that may require surgical repair to prevent life-threatening ruptures.
- Arrhythmias: Abnormal heart rhythms that can be treated with surgical interventions like ablation or pacemaker insertion.
Available Treatment Options:
- Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (CABG): A procedure to create a bypass around blocked coronary arteries to restore proper blood flow to the heart.
- Valve Repair or Replacement: Replacing or repairing damaged heart valves to improve heart function.
What to Expect from Your Surgery:
- Pre-Surgery Preparation: Your doctor will conduct a thorough assessment through tests, imaging, and a discussion about the procedure to make sure it’s right for you.
- Surgical Procedure: Surgeries range from traditional open-heart surgery to cutting-edge minimally invasive techniques, tailored to your condition.
- Recovery and Aftercare: After surgery, you’ll receive care and rehabilitation to help you recover fully. Our team will guide you through each step, from monitoring in the ICU to a smooth transition back to everyday life.
