About Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgery (CTVS)
Medically reviewed by Prof. Dr. K. Subramanyan, Head & Senior Consultant – Cardiology · Updated 9 October 2026
Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery (CTVS) covers operations on the heart, the major blood vessels and the organs of the chest. At Iswarya Hospital the CTVS team works alongside our cardiologists, cardiac anaesthetists and a dedicated cardiothoracic ICU so that patients move smoothly from diagnosis to surgery to recovery.
Every cardiac surgery is planned with a full pre-operative workup, including angiography and echocardiography, and is followed by monitored recovery in the CT ICU and a structured cardiac rehabilitation programme.
What We Treat & Offer
Coronary Bypass Surgery
CABG creates new routes for blood to reach the heart muscle when the coronary arteries are severely narrowed or blocked, relieving angina and reducing the risk of a heart attack.
Valve Replacement Surgery
Damaged or narrowed heart valves are repaired where possible or replaced with a mechanical or tissue valve, restoring normal blood flow through the heart.
All Thoracic Surgery
Surgery for lung, chest wall, oesophageal and mediastinal conditions, including lung resections, chest trauma repair and drainage of pleural collections.
