Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgeon in Ahmedabad
The Breadth of Expertise You Need
A cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon – often referred to as a CVTS surgeon – is one of the most comprehensively trained specialists in medicine. They are qualified to operate on the heart, the great vessels of the chest, the lungs, the oesophagus, and the mediastinum – the central compartment of the chest that houses structures vital to life. At EPIC Multispecialty Hospital, Ahmedabad, our CVTS team brings this full range of surgical expertise under one roof, serving patients from across Gujarat who need both cardiac and thoracic surgical care.
What Does a Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgeon Treat?
Cardiovascular Surgery – The Heart and Great Vessels
Cardiovascular surgery encompasses every operative procedure performed on the heart and the major arteries and veins of the chest. At EPIC Hospital, our CVTS surgeons perform:
- Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) – on-pump and off-pump, with LIMA, BIMA, and radial artery grafting
- Valve repair and replacement – mitral, aortic, tricuspid, and pulmonary valves
- Aortic root surgery – including Bentall procedure for root aneurysm
- Ascending aorta repair and aortic dissection surgery
- Congenital heart surgery in adults and children
- Complex redo cardiac surgery – second and subsequent operations
Thoracic Surgery – The Chest Beyond the Heart
EPIC Hospital’s CVTS team also manages diseases of the thorax – the chest cavity that houses the lungs, oesophagus, trachea, and mediastinum:
- Lung resection – lobectomy, segmentectomy, and pneumonectomy for lung cancer and other pulmonary conditions
- Mediastinal tumour surgery – thymoma, teratoma, and mediastinal lymph node surgery
- Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) – minimally invasive chest surgery through small incisions

- Oesophageal surgery – including oesophagectomy for oesophageal cancer
- Chest wall reconstruction and pericardial surgery
How to Find the Right CVTS Surgeon in Ahmedabad
Subspecialty Experience Matters
While all CVTS surgeons are trained across both cardiac and thoracic domains, most develop particular depth in specific procedures over their careers. If you need off-pump CABG, minimally invasive valve surgery, or lung cancer resection via VATS, ask specifically about the surgeon’s personal experience with that procedure – not just their general qualifications.
The Hospital Behind the Surgeon
A CVTS surgeon is only as effective as the institution supporting them. The best cardiac and thoracic outcomes depend on experienced cardiac anaesthesia, a dedicated perfusion team, skilled ICU nursing, and high-quality post-operative physiotherapy. EPIC Multispecialty Hospital provides all of these – built around a CVTS programme that has performed over 40,000 cardiac procedures.

Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgeon in Ahmedabad - Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cardiovascular and thoracic (CVTS) surgeon?
A CVTS surgeon is a specialist trained to operate on the heart, great vessels, lungs, oesophagus, and mediastinum. In India, they complete an MCh or DNB in Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgery after a surgical degree.
What is cardiopulmonary bypass?
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a machine that temporarily takes over the function of the heart and lungs during open-heart surgery, circulating and oxygenating blood while the heart is stopped. The perfusionist manages the bypass machine throughout the operation.
What is VATS surgery and is it available in Ahmedabad?
Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive approach to chest surgery using a small camera and instruments through small incisions. EPIC Multispecialty Hospital, Ahmedabad offers VATS for appropriate thoracic conditions – reducing recovery time and post-operative pain significantly.
What is the difference between a cardiologist and a cardiac surgeon?
A cardiologist diagnoses and manages heart disease non-surgically – with medications and catheter-based procedures such as angioplasty and stenting. A cardiac surgeon performs operations on the heart and vessels. Most patients with significant heart disease will see both specialists – often working together as a heart team.
Which hospital has the best cardiovascular surgeon in Ahmedabad?
EPIC Multispecialty Hospital, Ahmedabad is widely recognised for its cardiac and thoracic surgical team – offering the full CVTS spectrum with over 40,000 cardiac procedures performed.
