Cardiovascular surgery, also called chest surgery, is surgery on the organs of the chest, including the heart and lungs. This surgery can be used to treat a wide range of ailments, from heart failure to pulmonary embolism and esophageal cancer.

Cardiovascular surgeries include a variety of coronary artery bypass surgery, lung resection, vascular stenting and many other procedures. Likewise, chest surgery involves many medical disciplines, including pediatrics, oncology, and neuroscience.

Cardiovascular surgery includes cardiovascular surgery and pulmonary surgery (lung) and is used to diagnose and treat diseases and traumatic injuries of the heart, lungs and other related structures, such as the trachea (respiratory tube, esophagus, feeding tube) and Aperture is used.

The types of procedures related to these surgeries are:

• Robotic surgery

• Open surgery

• Endoscopy (known as laparoscopy or thoracoscopy)

Open surgery is generally common if access to the site of injury, severe or complex injury, or the amount of tissue resection.

In contrast, endoscopic and robotic surgeries are minimally invasive. Because they involve one or more smaller incisions, their healing time is usually shorter.

Most of these procedures require hospitalization. Because open surgery involves large incisions and other structures are likely to be affected (including the ribs and sternum), longer hospital stays and recovery times are required.

Some diagnostic procedures (such as lung biopsies) may be done as an outpatient procedure, allowing you to return home afterwards.

Cardiovascular surgery was widely started in 1896 by the German surgeon Ludwig Wren, who successfully repaired the right ventricular hemorrhage of a man who had been stabbed in the chest.
