Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgeons in Bangladesh

About cardiothoracic surgeons in Bangladesh

Cardio-vascular thoracic (CVTS) surgeons operate on the heart, lungs, chest wall and major blood vessels. Their work includes bypass and valve surgery, lung and chest operations, and surgery for blocked or swollen arteries and veins.

In Bangladesh, CVTS surgeons usually hold an MS (CVTS) or FCPS in cardiothoracic surgery. Patients are normally referred by a cardiologist, chest specialist or vascular specialist after tests such as angiogram, echo or CT scan.

How to choose the right cardiothoracic surgeon

Qualifications: Cardiothoracic surgeons in Bangladesh usually hold MS (CVTS), FCPS (Cardiothoracic Surgery), FRCS (Cardiothoracic). Each doctor's degrees are shown on their profile above.

Registration: every MBBS and BDS doctor must be registered with the Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council (BMDC). You can check a doctor's registration number on the BMDC website.

Hospital and chamber: a cardiothoracic surgeon attached to a medical college or large hospital has easy access to tests and admission if you need them. For regular follow-up, a chamber close to home with convenient visiting hours often matters just as much.

Experience with your problem: many specialists have a special interest within their field. Read the designation and degrees on each profile, and ask at the first visit how often the doctor treats your condition.
