Cardiothoracic Surgery
 

Cardiothoracic Surgery is the field of medicine involved in the surgical treatment of disease affecting organs inside the thorax (the chest) as well as the heart. Cardiac surgery and thoracic surgery are separate surgical specialties, but frequently grouped together as surgery on the heart and great vessels and surgery of the chest. A cardiothoracic surgeon will perform surgery within the realm of both areas.
