Cardiothoracic surgery is a specialised area of medicine that focuses on surgical treatment of conditions affecting organs within the chest, particularly the heart, lungs, and surrounding major blood vessels. Cardiothoracic surgeons perform life-changing procedures to correct disorders of the heart and lungs, treat heart diseases, repair structural defects, and restore patients to improved health and an enhanced quality of life.
At Busamed, our skilled cardiothoracic surgeons collaborate closely with experienced cardiologists, intensivists, specialised nurses, and allied health professionals, ensuring that every patient receives comprehensive and coordinated care during their treatment and recovery.
