Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgery is a department that treats heart disease and vascular disease through surgery, including angina, myocardial infarction, heart valve disease, aortic disease, arrhythmia, heart tumor, and congenital heart disease.
In particular, coronary artery bypass, the surgical treatment for angina and myocardial infarction, which is rapidly increasing these days and causes sudden death, is the most frequently performed surgery. Our department is conducting this surgery without stopping the heart, improving patient recovery, and reducing complications.
To support the operation, the hospital's Heart Center is equipped with a cardiovascular system, cardiac scan, echocardiography, etc. We have a medical staff trained in world-class hospitals. Microwave equipment is introduced for arrhythmia treatment.
For economically tricky patients, we support the Korean Heart Foundation and provide free surgery to help the community. (Information desk; specialized nurses and pastoral room)
Among cardiothoracic surgery, Thoracic Surgery is a department that treats the lungs and esophagus. The diseases include lung cancer, pulmonary tuberculosis, mediastinal tumors, bronchiectasis, pleurisy, pneumothorax, rib tumors, or chest trauma. To achieve this, we use the latest imaging machines, such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance diagnostics, to perform the most appropriate treatment. Esophageal diseases include diseases such as esophageal cancer, chronic esophageal stenosis, esophageal tumor, and rupture after esophageal trauma.
Also, the recent development of cardiothoracic surgery has led to a minimum incision procedure that is less invasive, more cosmetic, and less pain.
