10 AM – 5 PM · please book at least one week in advance
Off-pump coronary artery bypass — special interest in total arterial revascularisation using both internal mammary arteries.
Mitral, aortic and tricuspid surgery with a repair-first philosophy — mechanical and tissue prostheses, ring annuloplasty.
Root, ascending, arch, descending and thoraco-abdominal repair — including Bentall procedures and endovascular (EVAR) approaches.
Reoperations, acute aortic dissection and connective-tissue disease — with EuroSCORE II risk assessment on every patient.
Transit-time flow measurement (TTFM) on every graft — quality confirmed before the chest is closed.
Protocol-driven recovery and pain management — every patient tracked in a digital registry from admission onward.
More than 14,000 coronary bypass operations over three decades — the judgement that only volume builds.
Surgeons, anaesthetists, perfusionists and cardiac nurses review each patient together — you are treated by a unit, not an individual.
Every graft flow-tested in theatre, every patient followed in a digital registry, and research published in international journals.
