After a horrendous car crash my aortic aneurysm grew in size & required surgery. Professor Bittar carried out this procedure & in effect saved my life. The care in both ICU & the ward was magnificent. Also the aftercare by the cardiac team & specialist nurses was very supportive. Thankyou all so very much.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your exceptional care and expertise during my lung surgery after being diagnosed with cancer. Thanks to your skillful hands, the surgery was successful, and the cancer was successfully removed. I cannot overstate your contribution to my life and health. From the very beginning, I felt completely confident knowing I was in the hands of an extraordinary specialist. Your empathy and concern for the patient were invaluable during this challenging time. I wholeheartedly recommend Professor Bittar to anyone in need of top-notch medical care. Your knowledge, experience, and dedication to your patients are truly admirable. Thank you once again for saving my life and restoring hope for the future. I am immensely grateful for your work and commitment to patient care.

I was referred to BVH for lung surgery and Professor Bhittar was my consultant. He explained the procedure and aftercare in a calming, caring manner, which helped process my fears. Prof headed an exceptional team of thoracic surgeons who I believe saved my life , hopefully. I owe you so much, thank you. Would highly recommend and trust this man again and to anybody needing reassurance with future surgery and care. Also the anaesthetic team , theatre staff, intensive care, wd 38, Bernie the lung nurse and secretaries who contacted me. Thankyou again to you all. All this experience headed by Prof Bhittar helped my quick recovery.

After I suffered a heart attack I was told that I required a heart bypass operation. The procedure was thoroughly explained to me at every stage and the care I received was all I could wish for. I have made a good recovery, much better than I could have hoped for. I feel that I have been given a second chance to avoid the mistakes I must have made throughout my life which led up to my heart attack. I am looking forward to regaining my former fitness and enjoying my life again.

In December 2022 I had to have a serious lung operation which was performed by Professor Bittar at Blackpool Hospital. This man is a genius, he explained the operation to me and gave me so much confidence that I felt truly safe in his hands.His wealth of experience and expertise is second to none, I cant praise him enough. This surgeon deserves a medal, thank you Professor Bittar I will never forget how you helped me through a difficult time nor will I forget your kindness.

Profile

I am a cardiothoracic surgeon, my practice is mixed. In cardiac surgery I have a special interest in aortic surgery, minimally invasive aortic surgery, I also perform the general cardiac operations ( CABG, OPCAB and valve surgery). In thoracic surgery, I deal with chest wall, lung, pleural and mediastinal surgical diseases. I have special interest in the minimally invasive approach (video assisted thoracoscopic procedures-VATS lobectomy) and fractured ribs fixation.
I am interested in research; my qualification is a Medical Doctorate M.D. from Manchester University in 2007. My thesis was based on inflammatory response to the use of cardiopulmonary bypass in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. This response was linked to certain genotypes of a certain polymorphisms.
My current affiliation is with the University of Salford, I am collaborating with researchers studying the myocardial cell dysfunction, the inflammatory response and its effect on the conduits that used in cardiac surgery.Recently I was appointed as a professor (Hon)@ the University of Salford.
