CARDIOTHORACIC SURGERY
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.
