Cardiothoracic surgery is a surgical specialty, which deals with the diagnosis and management of surgical conditions of the heart, lungs and oesophagus. A small aspect of the specialty is the transplantation of both heart and lungs which is performed in only eight specialised centres in the United Kingdom.
Cardiothoracic surgery is a testing, technical specialty which combines a need for understanding of cardiovascular and respiratory anatomy and physiology, cardiac and thoracic pathology and a need to be technically able. The most common operation performed is coronary artery bypass grafting in cardiac surgery (75%) and the other work in cardiac surgery is largely valve operations. The most common thoracic operation is lobectomy or pneumonectomy for carcinoma of the lung. The specialty includes a need to be competent and able on the intensive care unit for the post operative care of these patients. There are many research opportunities in this specialty and it is expected that trainees will participate in research projects.
Job Prospects:
Cardiothoracic (sometimes refered to as “CT”) surgeons are specialists, both men and women, who have special expertise in the surgical management of disorders of the heart, lungs, esophagus, and major blood vessels of the chest cavity. They provide expert, state-of-the-art care that is interesting, challenging, and complex. Within the specialty of cardiothoracic surgery, one can develop special expertise in adult heart surgery, children’s heart surgery, and general thoracic surgery (disorders of the lungs and esophagus).
Cardiovascular surgery, also known as heart surgery, is a high-stress, intense job where your skills and training may mean the difference between a patient living or dying. Becoming this type of surgeon takes many years of education and training. Cardiovascular surgeons make high salaries, but their job also involves many high stakes.

There are a number of different types of operations on the heart, including replacement of heart valves, or bypasses of blocked coronary arteries. Specific surgeries include: permanent transvenous pacemaker insertion and follow-up care, cardiac surgery of the coronary artery (bypass), surgical treatment of valvular heart disease, surgical treatment of artery problems for lower extremity occlusion, and aortic aneurysm, surgical treatment of carotid artery problems and of lung and esophagus problems.
