        What are Cardiothoracic Doctors?

        A cardiothoracic surgeon is a doctor who performs surgery on the organs inside the chest - the heart and lungs - as well as on the great vessels.

        Some of the procedures that cardiothoracic surgeons perform are:

        • Angioplasty - to correct a blocked artery and increase blood flow to the heart
        • Heart valve replacement - to replace a damaged or abnormal valve with a functioning one
        • Atherectomy - increases blood flow by removing plaque from a blocked artery
        • Bypass surgery - arteries are taken from other parts of the body and moved to the heart in order to bypass blocked arteries, allowing blood flow to the heart
        • Heart transplant - replacing a diseased heart with a healthy heart from a donor
        • Stent - a stent is a wire mesh tube that is inserted into an artery in order to keep it open and enable the blood to pass through
