What is Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery (CTVS)?

In a Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery department, a variety of procedures are performed to treat conditions related to the heart, lungs, and blood vessels.

Here are some common procedures

  • Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) - A surgical procedure to bypass blocked coronary arteries using grafts from other blood vessels to restore blood flow to the heart.
  • Heart Valve Surgery - Repairing or replacing malfunctioning heart valves (e.g., aortic valve replacement or mitral valve repair).
  • Aortic Aneurysm Repair - Surgical intervention to repair an aneurysm in the aorta, which can include open surgery or endovascular techniques.

  • Lung Resection (Lobectomy/Pneumonectomy) - Removing part or all of a lung to treat lung cancer or other pulmonary diseases.
  • Thoracotomy - An incision into the chest wall to access the lungs or mediastinum for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.
  • Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) - A minimally invasive technique for lung surgery, allowing for smaller incisions and quicker recovery.

  • Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) - A minimally invasive procedure to repair abdominal aortic aneurysms using a stent graft placed via the femoral artery.
  • Peripheral Artery Bypass Surgery - Creating a bypass around blocked arteries in the limbs to improve blood flow and relieve symptoms of peripheral artery disease.
  • Carotid Endarterectomy - Surgical removal of plaque from the carotid arteries to reduce the risk of stroke.

  • Cardiac Catheterization - A procedure to evaluate heart function and coronary arteries, often performed before planning surgical interventions.
  • Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) - An imaging technique used to obtain detailed views of the heart and surrounding structures, often used in surgical planning.
