Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery is at a developing stage in Nepal. In Nepal, training of CTV surgeons started in the beginning of the 21st century. Nevertheless, there is already a decrease in trainee’s interest in this specialization leading CTVS training to a gasping state at its very neonatal age.
