The Cardiothoracic Surgery Department provides expert care for heart, lung, and chest conditions using open and minimally invasive techniques. Supported by advanced facilities and a multidisciplinary team, we deliver personalised treatment aimed at faster recovery and improved long-term outcomes.

Specialised Facilities for Cardiothoracic Care

• State-of-the-Art Operating Rooms
  High-tech surgical theatres equipped with advanced tools and imaging systems, enabling accuracy in complex heart and lung procedures.
• Cardiac Intensive Care Units (ICU)
  Specialised ICUs ensure 24/7 critical care monitoring and support for patients in the immediate post-operative phase.
• Advanced Cardiac Cath Labs
  Equipped for minimally invasive diagnostic and interventional procedures like angiograms and stent placements, reducing the need for open surgery.
• Comprehensive Cardiac Imaging
  MRI, CT scans, and echocardiography provide detailed visualisation of heart and thoracic structures, essential for surgical planning.
• Post-Surgical Rehabilitation Centres
  Tailored physiotherapy and cardiac rehabilitation programmes help patients regain strength and adapt to heart-healthy lifestyles.
• Minimally Invasive Surgical Suites
  Designed for robotic and keyhole procedures that minimise scarring, reduce complications, and promote quicker recovery.

Key Cardiothoracic Surgical Procedures

• Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)
  Restores proper blood flow to the heart by bypassing blocked arteries using healthy vessels from other parts of the body.
• Heart Valve Repair & Replacement
  Treats malfunctioning valves through reconstruction or by implanting prosthetic valves, improving heart function and reducing symptoms.
• Thoracic Aortic & Aneurysm Surgery
  Addresses critical conditions like aortic dissections or aneurysms, preventing life-threatening complications such as rupture.
• Lung Resection (Lobectomy/Pneumonectomy)
  Involves removing diseased portions or the entire lung to treat cancers, infections, or other severe pulmonary conditions.
• Heart Transplant
  A life-saving procedure for end-stage heart failure, replacing the patient’s failing heart with a healthy donor organ.
• Mitral Valve Surgery
  Focused intervention to correct mitral valve stenosis or regurgitation, either through open- heart or minimally invasive methods.
• Minimally Invasive & Robotic Surgery
  Utilises small incisions and advanced robotic systems to reduce blood loss, minimise post- operative pain, and speed up recovery.

Our Cardiothoracic Subspecialties.

Coronary & Cardiac Surgery

• Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)
  Bypasses blocked arteries to restore blood flow to the heart, reducing the risk of heart attacks and improving cardiac function.
• Heart Valve Repair & Replacement
  Includes both traditional and minimally invasive options to treat damaged heart valves and restore normal valve function.
• Mitral Valve Surgery
  Specialised surgical management of mitral valve stenosis or regurgitation using open or keyhole techniques.
• Heart Transplantation
  A comprehensive transplant programme offering hope for patients with end-stage heart failure, supported by expert pre- and post-operative care.

Thoracic & Lung Surgery

• Lung Resection (Lobectomy/Pneumonectomy)
  Removes diseased lung tissue to treat cancer, infections, or structural abnormalities, ensuring better lung function and disease control.
• Thoracic Aortic Surgery
  Manages complex conditions of the thoracic aorta—including aneurysms and dissections—using open and endovascular techniques.
• Aneurysm Repair
  Corrects dangerous bulges in major arteries to prevent rupture and ensure vascular stability.

Minimally Invasive & Robotic Surgery

• Minimally Invasive Valve & Coronary Surgery
  Uses small incisions and robotic precision for procedures like valve repair and coronary bypass, resulting in faster recovery and reduced complications.
• Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS)
  A keyhole technique for thoracic procedures, offering less pain, lower infection risk, and a quicker return to normal activities.

Our Comprehensive Cardiothoracic Services

• State-of-the-Art Operating Rooms
  Equipped with advanced surgical systems, including heart-lung machines and integrated infection control protocols for high-precision surgeries.
• Dedicated Intensive Care Units (ICU)
  Specialised units for close monitoring and critical care following major heart or lung procedures, ensuring stable recovery.
• Cardiac Catheterization Labs
  Designed for minimally invasive procedures like angiograms, angioplasty, and stent placement, allowing early diagnosis and rapid intervention.
• Advanced Cardiac Imaging
  High-resolution CT, MRI, echocardiography, and fluoroscopy systems for accurate pre-surgical planning and post-operative assessment.
• Rehabilitation Centres
  Offer customised cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation programs to support mobility, strength, and long-term recovery after surgery.
• Minimally Invasive Surgical Suites
  Dedicated to robotic-assisted and keyhole procedures that reduce surgical trauma, shorten hospital stays, and improve recovery time.
• Multidisciplinary & Patient-Centred Care
  Our team works in tandem with cardiology, pulmonology, oncology, anaesthesia, and rehab specialists to deliver seamless, integrated care tailored to each patient’s condition—setting new benchmarks in cardiothoracic excellence.
