Cardiothoracic surgery is integral in addressing a wide spectrum of complex and life-threatening conditions affecting the heart and thoracic organs, often providing life-saving interventions and improving overall quality of life for patients.

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Blockages or narrowing of coronary arteries that can lead to heart attacks.

Valvular Heart Disease: Conditions affecting heart valves, including stenosis and regurgitation.

Aortic Aneurysms and Dissections: Enlargement or tearing of the aorta, the main artery carrying blood from the heart.

Congenital Heart Defects: Structural heart abnormalities present from birth that may require surgical correction.

Heart Failure: Inability of the heart to pump blood effectively, often requiring surgical interventions.

Lung Cancer: Malignant growths in the lungs that may necessitate lung resection.

Pulmonary Nodules: Abnormal growths in the lungs that may be indicative of cancer or other conditions.

Esophageal Disorders: Conditions affecting the esophagus, including tumors, strictures, and motility disorders.

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome: Compression of nerves or blood vessels in the thoracic outlet, leading to symptoms in the arms and hands.

Arrhythmias: Irregular heart rhythms that may require surgical correction.

Esophageal Surgery: Addressing conditions of the esophagus, including tumors, strictures, and motility disorders.

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery: Performing heart surgery through small incisions, reducing recovery time and complications.
