What kind of research can you do when you are in Cardiac / Cardiothoracic Surgery

[generouslaser]

I currently have a personal split between whether going to IM to Cardio then Interventional Cardio or to follow GS then CTS.
I am more learning towards the CTS side, but I have a lot of interest in the physical/mathematical/mechanical aspect of medicine, especially with cardiology and hemodynamics. I am also decently versed in programming.
How flexible can your research be if you are in CTS?
Thank you all, I apologize if this is a dumb question in any way.
