I understand that in the US cardiac and thoracic surgery are the same residency/fellowship as opposed to some other countries. My question is do CT Surgeons in the US typically work on the heart, lungs and esophagus? Or do they branch off at some point?
For example will a CT surgeon have a CABG one day a pulmonary lobectomy another day and removal of an esophageal tumor the next day? This seems like a lot of ground to cover!
I have always wondered how this works...
