Cardiothoracic surgery is the surgical intervention for the treatment of conditions affecting the thorax – which includes the Heart, Lungs, and chest region. At Gleneagles Hospital, Mumbai our experienced panel of surgeons perform a wide range of Cardiothoracic surgeries, including minimally invasive procedures, Open Heart procedures, and Heart Transplants. Cardiothoracic And Vascular Surgeries are some of the complex procedures and require precision, expertise, and advanced technology to perform successfully.

The Department of Cardiothoracic And Vascular Surgery at Gleneagles Hospital, Mumbai has the best set of doctors, surgeons, and specialists who specialise in the treatment of Heart Diseases. We have some of the best cardiovascular surgeons and Cardiologists in Mumbai to give expert medical advice and carry out necessary medical procedures as per the universally accepted guidelines. They are well-trained and have an excellent knowledge of their work and specialisation.

Cardiothoracic And Vascular Surgeons address a wide range of conditions, including Coronary Artery Disease, Heart Valve Disorders, Lung Cancer, Esophageal Cancer, Congenital Heart Defects, and Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms.

Patients may be referred to a Cardiothoracic And Vascular Surgeon by a Cardiologist or Pulmonologist based on diagnostic tests and the severity of their condition. Common symptoms include chest pain, shortness of breath, and persistent cough.

While both specialities deal with heart-related issues, Cardiothoracic And Vascular Surgery involves surgical interventions, such as Bypass Surgery or Valve Replacements, whereas Cardiology primarily focuses on non-surgical treatments like medications and interventions like Angioplasty.

Minimally invasive techniques involve smaller incisions, leading to shorter recovery times and reduced postoperative pain. Procedures like minimally invasive heart surgery and thoracoscopy are common in Cardiothoracic And Vascular Surgery.

Recovery varies depending on the specific procedure, but it generally involves a hospital stay followed by a period of rehabilitation. Patients are closely monitored to ensure a smooth recovery.
