Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery

Hunaid Vohra's : journey in Cardiac Surgery went through working in hospitals in London (Harefield) and Southampton, UK. Having been conferred the status of a Fellow both by the British as well as the European Cardiac Surgical Boards, he was awarded the prestigious Ethicon Scholarship from the Society of Cardiothoracic Surgeons to sub-specialise in mitral and aortic valve repair with Professor Gebrine El Khoury at Saint-Luc University Hospital (Brussels) followed by minimally invasive mitral valve repair with Professor Hugo Vanermen at OLV clinic (Aalst, Belgium). On his return to UK, he completed another sub-speciality fellowship in minimally invasive aortic valve replacement and trans-catheter aortic valve insertion (TAVI) at the St Thomas' Hospital, London.His love of the practical aspects of surgery is matched by an enthusiasm for research. He has been awarded a BUPA Cardiac Surgical Research Fellowship where his thesis looked at the mechanisms of apoptosis and necrosis after a myocardial infarction. He maintains an active involvement in research through his Honorary Senior Lecturer position at the University of Bristol. He is faculty on various international training courses and currently holds the position of Associate Editor of the Cardiac Valve section of ICVTS/EJCTS journal.
