Cardiac Surgery at St Anthony's Hospital

The Cardiac Team

A panel of specialists based in the London Teaching Hospitals leads the Cardiac Team. The accumulated experience of this group includes a successful transplant programme, an on-going research programme and much published material.

The mortality rate for patients operated on at
St. Anthonys remains under 1%.

St.Anthonys Hospital has specialised in cardiac surgery since 1975. Each year around 300 bypass graft and valve replacement procedures are carried out by some of the most eminent London surgeons. The cardiac programme now extends to catheterisation, PTCAs, coronary stents and pacemaker implantation.

In addition to treating a large number of British patients, the Hospital also receives many referrals from abroad and has built up considerable expertise in the administration of such arrangements. Because of this, St.Anthonys is able to offer patients a complete package including hospital treatment, transport and accommodation for relatives.
