Cardiac and Cardiothoracic Surgeon

A Cardiac surgeon or heart surgeon specializes in the surgical care of people of all ages dealing with irregular heartbeat, valve diseases, or congenital heart problems. A cardiac surgeon is the person at the fore front of diagnosing and surgically treating many diseases, including coronary heart disease, heart valve disease, chest trauma, and end-stage heart failure.

Cardiothoracic surgeons perform a wide range of surgeries on different organs in the thorax (the chest), including heart, lungs, esophagus, and other organs in the chest.

Minimally Invasive Coronary Bypass Surgery is one such beneficial tool in fighting heart diseases. This surgery is performed by making small keyhole size incisions in the body. These minuscule keyhole entry points are frequently made utilizing particular careful instruments. In contrast to traditional open-heart surgery, minimally invasive heart surgery leaves only a two- to three-inch incision on the chest instead of six to eight inches. Recovery time in such surgeries is a lot faster than in ordinary surgeries.
