My Practice
I have a mixed cardiac and thoracic surgical practice.

I perform general cardiac surgical procedures. However, my special interest is in aortic surgery; I regularly perform operations on aneurysms at proximal and distal aorta. I also perform mitral and aortic valve surgery.

In thoracic surgery, I have considerable experience in the management of lung , pleural and mediastinal surgical diseases. I have developed special interest in minimal invasive approaches including video assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) procedures and VATS lobectomy.
