Cardiac & Vascular Surgery focuses on the surgical treatment of heart and blood vessel disorders, including coronary artery disease, heart valve disorders, aortic aneurysms, peripheral artery disease, and congenital heart defects. Procedures like bypass surgery (CABG), valve repair/replacement, aortic aneurysm repair, and endovascular surgeries are performed using open, minimally invasive, and robotic-assisted techniques. Advances in transcatheter interventions, ECMO, and hybrid surgical approaches have significantly improved patient outcomes and recovery.

Heart and Lung Transplant CVTS

Heart & Lung Transplant (CVTS – Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgery) focuses on the surgical treatment of complex heart and lung diseases, including end-stage heart failure, severe lung disease, congenital heart defects, and coronary artery conditions. It involves heart and lung transplantation, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), valve repair/replacement, and aortic surgery. Advances in mechanical circulatory support (ECMO, LVAD), minimally invasive techniques, and immunosuppressive therapies have significantly improved transplant success rates and long-term patient outcomes.

Cardiology

Cardiology focuses on diagnosing and treating heart and vascular conditions, including heart disease, heart failure, and arrhythmias. This department uses diagnostic tools like ECGs and echocardiograms to assess cardiovascular health. Treatments may include medications, lifestyle changes, and surgical interventions such as stenting or bypass surgery.
