Paediatrics Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery (CTVS) is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on surgical treatments for heart and lung conditions in children. This can include congenital heart defects, acquired heart conditions, and lung disorders.
Paediatric CTVS surgeons work closely with other medical professionals, including pediatric cardiologists and critical care physicians, to provide comprehensive care for children with heart and lung conditions. They use advanced surgical techniques and technology, such as minimally invasive procedures, to perform complex surgeries with the highest level of precision and safety.
Some common procedures performed by paediatric CTVS surgeons include repairing heart defects, replacing heart valves, treating cardiac tumors, and repairing aortic aneurysms. They may also perform lung surgeries, such as removal of tumors or repairing defects in the airway.
Paediatric CTVS surgery is a complex and demanding field that requires specialized training and expertise. Paediatric CTVS surgeons work tirelessly to provide the best possible outcomes for their young patients, helping them to lead healthier and happier lives
