CT Surgeon :
Cardiothoracic surgeons are the specialists who are trained to surgically treat problems in the food pipe, lungs, and heart. These specialists can also treat problems in the blood vessels of the heart. An MBBS doctor becomes a CT surgeon by earning an MS in General Surgery and doing a fellowship course in CT surgery.
CT surgeons are highly skilled to operate on the delicate parts present in the torso. Some of the heart procedures they can perform include coronary artery bypass grafting, heart valve replacement and heart transplant. CT surgeons can also perform complex lung operations like resection of the lungs to treat lung cancer. It is important to consult these surgeons for symptoms like long-term shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat and chest pain. These symptoms can indicate serious problems in the heart and lungs.
