Cardiothoracic Surgery

Advanced Surgical Care for the Heart, Lungs, and Chest

The Cardiothoracic Surgery Department at Cardea Superspeciality Hospital provides advanced surgical care for conditions affecting the heart, lungs, and chest. Our focus is on delivering safe, precise, and effective procedures for patients who require surgical intervention when medical or interventional treatments are not sufficient.

Scope of Cardiothoracic Surgery

Cardiothoracic surgery covers a wide range of procedures, including:

• Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)
• Valve repair and valve replacement surgery
• Surgery for congenital heart defects
• Surgical treatment for lung and oesophageal diseases
• Thoracic surgeries involving tumours, infections, or injuries

Integrated Cardiac Care

Many cardiothoracic surgeries are performed for patients with advanced heart disease or complex blockages that cannot be treated with angioplasty alone. At Cardea, our Cardiothoracic Surgery team works in close coordination with our Interventional Cardiology team, ensuring a seamless transition from diagnosis to surgical care.

For example:

• A patient presenting with severe coronary artery disease may begin with an angiogram in our Cath Lab, followed by a CABG procedure if required.
• Patients with valve disorders may be referred from our Cardiology Department for surgical valve replacement or repair.

This integration ensures that every patient benefits from the most appropriate treatment plan, whether it is interventional or surgical.

When is Cardiothoracic Surgery Needed?

Surgery may be recommended if you experience:

• Severe chest pain that does not improve with medications or stenting
• Advanced heart valve disease causing fatigue, breathlessness, or fainting spells
• Recurrent blockages despite angioplasty
• Structural or congenital heart defects requiring correction
• Lung or chest conditions that demand surgical treatment

Technology and Facilities

At Cardea Superspeciality Hospital, cardiothoracic surgeries are supported by:

• A modern Cardiac Cath Lab for pre-surgical evaluation and interventions
• State-of-the-art operating theatres with advanced monitoring systems
• Post-operative intensive care units designed for cardiac and thoracic patients
• Multidisciplinary teams that ensure safe recovery and long-term rehabilitation

Building Awareness and Prevention

While cardiothoracic surgery saves lives in advanced cases, it is equally important to focus on prevention and early treatment. Many conditions that lead to bypass or valve surgery begin as cardiac risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, or cholesterol imbalance.

That is why our hospital strongly promotes:

• Regular cardiac check-ups
• Early intervention through Cardiology consultations
• Lifestyle counselling on diet, exercise, and risk management

By recognising warning signs early, many patients may avoid the need for major surgery altogether.
