Cardiac Surgery

The Cardiac Surgery team delivers comprehensive, evidence-based surgical care for coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, aortic pathology, and complex congenital conditions, aortic and minimally invasive procedures. Our advanced surgical interventions are delivered through close multidisciplinary collaboration and integration with cardiology and critical care services. Our surgeons actively contribute to national and international research initiatives, advancing innovation and excellence in cardiac surgical care.

We specialize in high-risk and redo cardiac surgeries that require exceptional surgical skill and planning. Our team combines advanced techniques with multidisciplinary expertise to deliver safe, durable outcomes for even the most challenging cases. When complex heart conditions require the highest level of surgical expertise, our program provides patients with options and outcomes that few centres can match.

Our Mechanical Circulatory Support program provides comprehensive care for patients with advanced heart failure through the use of temporary and durable assist devices. We offer individualized strategies including left ventricular assist devices and short-term mechanical support as a bridge to transplant, bridge to recovery, or destination therapy. Care is delivered through a multidisciplinary team approach, integrating advanced imaging, hemodynamic assessment, and evidence-based decision-making to optimize outcomes and improve quality of life.

We're world leaders in robotic cardiac surgery, having performed the first robotic heart transplant - a milestone that redefines what's possible in cardiovascular medicine. This minimally invasive approach offers unparalleled precision, reduced recovery time, lower surgical risk, and faster return to normal life. As part of an internationally accredited centre, our robotic program reflects our commitment to adopting and developing technologies that shape the future of heart surgery.
