The Section of Cardiothoracic Surgery is an integral part of the Department of Surgery at the University of Cincinnati. The Section includes the Division of Cardiac Surgery and the Division of Thoracic Surgery. The Division of Cardiac Surgery is also aligned with the Division of Vascular Surgery from the Department of Surgery and the Division of Cardiology from the Department of Medicine to form the UC Heart and Vascular Center. The Section of Cardiothoracic Surgery also includes our colleagues in pediatric cardiac surgery who care for patients at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.

Education in cardiothoracic surgery remains central to the mission of the Section. The thoracic surgery residency training program provides three continuous years of clinical training in cardiothoracic surgery. One resident will be starting each year. Residents will rotate on adult cardiac surgery at the University Hospital, on general thoracic surgery at the University Hospital and the Cincinnati Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, and on pediatric cardiac surgery at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. There are adequate opportunities for evaluation of patients in the outpatient clinic setting each week. In addition, patients are discussed at preoperative planning conferences.
