Urgent Cardiothoracic Surgery and Emergency Interventions

We manage urgent cases such as aortic dissections, cardiac trauma, and severe thoracic infections. Consequently, our rapid response protocols allow for immediate surgical intervention when minutes matter.

In addition, we collaborate with intensive care units and emergency departments. As a result, patient survival improves, and complications are reduced during critical moments.

Dr Andrew Selvaraj Cardiothoracic Surgeon Brighton and Complex Heart Procedures

Dr Andrew Selvaraj performs a range of procedures including coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), valve repair and replacement, and surgery for congenital heart defects.

Moreover, we use minimally invasive techniques when appropriate, reducing recovery time and scarring. Therefore, patients return to normal life sooner, with less physical impact from surgery.

Advanced Lung Surgery and Thoracic Oncology

We treat lung cancer, pleural disease, and other thoracic conditions through surgical resection, VATS (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery), and robotic-assisted procedures. Additionally, Dr Selvaraj works closely with oncologists and respiratory specialists to ensure integrated care.

For this reason, our patients receive the most effective combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and post-operative follow-up—leading to better outcomes and long-term control.

Dr Andrew Selvaraj Cardiothoracic Surgeon Brighton and Postoperative Recovery

Dr Andrew Selvaraj  leads a structured recovery pathway for each patient. This includes intensive monitoring, physiotherapy, pain management, and cardiac rehabilitation.

Furthermore, our focus on personalised recovery plans results in fewer readmissions and quicker return to function. Consequently, patients feel supported from surgery through full recovery.

Community Cardiac Support and Ongoing Care

Follow-up care is essential after cardiothoracic surgery. We provide community-based check-ups, wound care, and rehabilitation programmes. In addition, patients receive clear guidance on medication, lifestyle, and long-term heart and lung health.

As a result, continuity of care remains strong, and patients stay informed and in control of their recovery journey.
