The Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery was created as a sub unit of Department of General surgery on 30th October 2012. After its creation the department started functioning independently and doing all types of closed cardiac, thoracic and vascular surgery. In October 2016 the long cherished dream of performing an open heart surgery in JNMC was fulfilled with mitral valve replacement surgery being carried out.

In 2017 the department collaborated with Government of India under Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karykram and started free heart surgery for children under 18 years of age. Till date we have done more than 2000 complex congenital surgeries/interventions with excellent results. Over the years our faculty has become experienced in doing complex cardiac, thoracic and vascular surgeries. We are regularly doing Minimally invasive cardiac surgeries (MICS) and Video assisted thoracoscopic surgeries (VATS). Another field of our expertise is foreign body retrievals from esophagus and bronchus. We are providing teaching and training to undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as we are involved in training of paramedical students like BSc in Operation theatre management, BSc in endoscopy management, and BSc in Physiotherapy.

The Department also has Memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Healing little hearts (HLH), a UK based NGO for collaborating in field of complex cardiac surgeries. The department has gradually expanded its repertoire of surgery and started small incision cardiac surgery in 2019. In the year 2021 department has started doing valve repairs, which makes it one of the few government centers in India doing minimally invasive cardiac surgeries (MICS) and valve repairs.

We have three faculty members Prof. Mohd. Azam Haseen working as Professor and Dr Syed Shamayal Rabbani and Dr.Aamir Mohammad as Assistant Professor.
