A good MCh CTVS thesis takes the busy cardiac, thoracic and vascular operating lists of Indian centres and studies a specific technique, perioperative strategy or early outcome. Coronary bypass, valve surgery, congenital repairs, lung resection and arteriovenous fistula creation provide enough cases for prospective cohorts or comparisons within the MCh course. Outcomes such as in-hospital mortality, ventilation time, bleeding, patency or early complications are measurable before submission, and rheumatic valve disease remains a major Indian theme.
The catalogue covers Adult Cardiac Surgery, Thoracic Surgery, Perioperative & Critical Care, Congenital Cardiac Surgery, Paediatric Cardiac Surgery, Aortic Surgery, Vascular Surgery and Mechanical Circulatory Support. Titles include Takayasu arteritis, thoracoabdominal aneurysm repair, infrapopliteal angioplasty, venous ablation, fistula maturation and the WIfI classification. Objectives or a full synopsis can be bought for any title.

5Tips for choosing a MCh CTVS topic
- Use EuroSCORE II or the STS risk score for adult cardiac surgery and RACHS or Aristotle complexity categories for congenital surgery, so outcomes can be adjusted for baseline risk.
- Perioperative studies of cardioplegia, blood conservation or ventilation are often the easiest to randomise because they do not change the operation itself; involve anaesthesia and perfusion teams early.
- ECMO and ventricular assist device studies are expensive and low volume in many Indian units; check case numbers and funding before choosing mechanical circulatory support topics.
- Follow-up after cardiac surgery is often lost when patients return to distant homes; collect reliable contact details and choose in-hospital or early outpatient endpoints.
For the general checklist (patient load, timeline, cost, ethics), see how to choose an MD/MS thesis topic. Every titles page for other specialities is listed on thesis topics by speciality.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions on this topic
A common operation, a measurable early outcome and a supportive team. Coronary bypass, mitral valve surgery, congenital shunt repairs, thoracic surgery for infection or cancer, and vascular access procedures provide enough patients. Avoid topics that need long-term survival or rare procedures unless your unit already has a strong record of such cases.
Yes. CTVS training covers thoracic and vascular surgery, and topics on empyema, lung resection, chest trauma, peripheral arterial disease, venous disease and dialysis access are common. These often have high volume and short follow-up, which makes them practical choices when cardiac surgery numbers in your unit are limited.
It can be for perioperative interventions such as cardioplegia solutions, haemostatic agents, analgesia or ventilation strategies. Randomising the operation itself is much harder. Register with CTRI, obtain ethics approval and agree with surgeons, anaesthetists and perfusionists on a standard protocol before enrolling the first patient.
Use them as starting points. Discuss the title with your guide, check that it fits your department's patients and facilities, check it has not already been done at your institution, and adjust the wording before you submit it to your ethics committee.
