  1. Cardio is relating to the heart, thoracic relating to the chest (thorax).  So, a heart/chest surgeon.


  2. A cardiothoracic surgeon is skilled in surgery of the heart and thorax. However, a great many specialize in surgery of the heart. You'll find some of the finest heart surgeons in the world are cardiothoracic surgeons working at the Cleveland clinic in OH.

  3. Cardiothoracic surgery is the field of medicine involved in surgical treatment of diseases affecting organs inside the thorax (the chest). Generally treatment of conditions of the heart (heart disease) and lungs (lung disease).

    Cardiac surgery and thoracic surgery are separate surgical specialties, but are frequently grouped together as cardiothoracic surgery (primarily in the United States). Cardiac surgery generally refers to surgery of the heart and great vessels, and thoracic surgery generally refers to surgery of the chest other than the heart. A cardiothoracic surgeon will perform surgery within the realm of both cardiac and thoracic surgery.
