Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery (CTVS)
CTVS
Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery (CTVS) is a specialized medical discipline focused on surgical interventions for diseases affecting the heart, lungs, chest, and blood vessels. Cardiothoracic surgeons perform a range of procedures, including coronary artery bypass grafting, valve repair or replacement, and surgeries for congenital heart defects. In the thoracic area, they address conditions like lung cancer, infections, and disorders of the esophagus. Vascular surgeons specialize in treating diseases of the blood vessels, such as aortic aneurysms, peripheral artery disease, and carotid artery stenosis. CTVS encompasses complex surgeries, often involving the use of advanced technologies and minimally invasive techniques to optimize patient outcomes. These surgeons collaborate with cardiologists, pulmonologists, and other specialists to provide comprehensive care for individuals with a broad spectrum of cardiovascular and thoracic conditions.
