Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgery

Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgery

The Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, started in 2000 by Dr K. Varadharaj, was established with a cardiothoracic intensive therapy unit and an operating room capable of performing openheart procedures for packages as low as 65,000 rupees. It has steadily progressed over the years to major vascular and thoracic procedures. Currently led by Dr P.R. Murugesan, the department will soon be offering programmes for heart and lung transplantation.

The department has achieved several milestones notable among them are contribution to many government initiatives, including the ongoing extended health scheme initiated by the state of Tamil Nadu. In October 2012, the CardioThoracic and Vascular Surgery (CTVS) team celebrated the landmark of completing 3,000 open-heart procedures at the institution.
