Thoracic surgery is a surgical subspecialty. Its focus is on the organs of the thoracic cavity. Most of the time, this means the heart and lungs. Patients who need thoracic surgery may have any number of problems, such as heart disease or needing a lung transplant.

A vascular surgeon is a medical professional who has been trained to diagnose and treat diseases of the vascular system. The vascular system is made up of blood vessels and veins. It helps blood get to the organs, and if something stops the blood from flowing properly, organs can suffer and patients can become extremely sick. Vascular surgeons can help fix any vascular problems that may occur including blockage of Carotids, blockage of leg arteries,aortic aneurysms and varicose veins.
