Cardiac
A cardiac surgeon is a medical doctor who has advanced education and training in performing surgery on the heart and the major blood vessels around it. They may belong to different specialties or may choose to specialize in certain types of heart procedures, such as procedures done on children.
Cardiac surgery is any kind of surgical procedure performed on your heart or any related blood vessels near where they connect to the heart. In some cases, these surgeries may involve the tissues or structures immediately next to the heart.
Cardiac surgeons typically fall into two professional specialties. While there are many similarities and overlaps in their practice, a few differences are big enough to group them differently.
