Cardiac surgery - GK NHS practice: Oxford Heart Center, Oxford, UK
Private practice: The Manor Hospital, Nuffield Health, Oxford, UK

I have been a consultant cardiac surgeon since 2008 and I joined the Oxford Heart Centre of John Radcliffe Hospital in July 2013. I finished my surgical training in England and I specialised in cardiothoracic surgery within the East London Rotation (NTN – Royal Brompton, St. Mary’s, St Bartholomew’s, & London Chest Hospitals of London). I gained my PhD in 1999 and I undertook a fellowship along side Prof. Tirone David at Toronto, Canada, where I sub-specialised in advanced aortic repairs and reconstructive cardiac surgery. I tend to favour minimally access, cosmetic approaches for the performance of all regular cardiac surgical procedures. My team and I use techniques to minimize surgical trauma in the majority of our cardiac operations. I advocate the use of arterial grafts to perform coronary artery bypass surgery (by-pass) with or without the use of extracorporeal circulation. I have experience in advanced techniques of aortic aneurysm and I can offer surgical treatment to patients suffering from cardiac arrhythmias. I believe that where possible, repairing a diseased heart valve or the aortic root is the best form of treatment and I am pleased to be able to offer these sub-specialized surgical techniques to appropriate patients with excellent results. My philosophy is based on providing surgical, medical and humanitarian services of the highest standards. I believe in the development of quality health services and devote much of my time making sure that my patients receive what they are entitled to: effective medical and surgical care, safety, dignity and respect.

NOBLE trial: CABG is superior to PCI after 5 years!
PCI has higher rates of spontaneous myocardial infarction and need for repeat procedures.
These evidence are consistent with the EXCEL trial actual findings!
The durability of CABG as a procedure that offered long lasting results, remains the gold standard of treatment for patients with ischaemic heart disease, especially the ones with complex coronary artery disease and diabetics.
If we now add to these the evolution of CABG with less invasive techniques, intraoperative quality assessment with TTFM and most importantly, multiple arterial grafting, I think it should now becoming almost unethical to continue randomising patients into PCI-v-CABG trials!

AATS now is also engaging with EXCEL trial... finally, people start looking into the way modern “evidence” is produced and the involvement of industry in producing these!!!!

Founded in 1917, the AATS, along with its philanthropic arm, the AATS Foundation, seeks to advance the field of cardiothoracic surgery. It is an international organization whose members have a proven record of distinc

CABG is clearly the better treatment option for patients with complex coronary artery disease and especially diabetics.... how many times this has to be published before appropriate therapy is offered to patients and becomes morally and ethically inappropriate to contact any further “studies”?
