Cardiothoracic surgeon

A cardiothoracic surgeon treats surgical conditions of the heart, lungs and surrounding areas. This is a complex, demanding speciality which requires the surgeon to have in-depth knowledge of the cardiac and respiratory systems as well as the technical ability to perform this surgery.

Examples of cardiothoracic surgery include:

  • Coronary artery bypass
  • Heart transplantation
  • Cardiopulmonary bypass
  • Treatment for heart valve disease
  • Pneumonectomy
  • Thoracotomy

Many surgeons specialise in a particular area. They choose to train as cardiac surgeons, thoracic surgeons or in this case, cardiothoracic surgeons - which is a combination of both the cardiac and thoracic fields.
